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

@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

Ruminating Help
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.

Tips for rumination with real event?
I've been doing well the past month in cutting down on compulsions and have been feeling better however, last night I had a set back that carried on into today. I had gotten very poor sleep (4ish hours) and then something triggered my memory. I think with the sudden anxiety spike and lack of sleep I didn't have the strength to ignore my compulsions. Last night and today I've realised I've gone back into rumination and mentally reviewing the event excessively again and comparing my situation to other people's, but most of the times that I start going down these rabbit holes I don't even realise I'm doing it? Also been fixating a bit on the fear that I've ruined my progress and that I will fall back into the deep end of it all again, that I have done so much work getting myself out of, although trying my best to not be too discouraged. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with rumination more specifically?
