I ruminate for days. I can use someone to talk to
Ruminating and I hate it. I feel like crying. I can use advice and someone to talk to

Were here for you
Thank you guys so much for replying. I’m struggling with a new theme. I’m a little embarrassed to share it too. I was hanging out with someone the other night and I left pretty late from their place. They only had four hours of sleep before work.  I’m ruminating on what if something bad happened to them on the way in and back from work because they didn’t sleep enough and it was all my fault.  Logically, I know it’s not my fault since they decided to stay up late and I had no idea. So my ruminating is on what happens if they died, what happens if something tragic happened. I don’t want to reach out to them because I feel like it would be a compulsion, but I’m very tempted to. I’m trying to sit with these thoughts and do erp Now, in general, I have to tell my friends to call me when they make it home just because I have these ruminating thoughts
@Mooooni text them and just ask how was work for your comfort !
@arm_0 You’re right but I’m scared if I do and I don’t get a response then I’m afraid I’ll be anxious. We just met and I’m not sure how this person is. If he ghosting me but then I think oh well, at least I tried
@arm_0 Also, I need to get over my fear of texting people. I never reach out to guys who I’m seeing or dating because I’m afraid I’ll ruminate about it. This is such a new theme
@Mooooni face your fears! i promise it’ll help in the long run ❤️ i’m sure if something happened you would see it on social media and i bet he’d reply back and think it was sweet you care!
I have really started to take control of my compulsions and im starting to string together better days! Still not great days or even good, but they are better!!! I have controlled my outward compulsions (googling, research, reassurance, checking) the past couple of days and felt the positive impact of that. But unfortunately, I am realizing that the rumination is still constant. My sexuality and relationship are the only two things constantly on my brain, and if they aren’t I freak out and wonder why im not thinking about them! Anyone have any advice on how to deal with the rumination. Sometimes I don’t even notice im doing it, but it’s taking up 90% of my day. Once I start to tackle this I think I may make some real big progress! Hope everyone is fighting today! ❤️
I ruminated too much this morning and got distressing mental images (and confirmation) which sent me spiraling again. How do I stop thinking about this and how do I get back to myself? I feel destroyed.
I could really use someone to talk to rn. It’s been a horrible day
