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'm having the hardest time right now with my own ruminating negative thoughts that may or may not possibly come true. I fear the worst and replay what that looks like in my head over and over. The best I can do is my best and wait for the horror to end. I want to cry, but can't. I'm scared and alone in my head. My anxiety is extreme. What should I do in the meantime while I'm going through this? How can I minimize or stop the way I'm feeling? Please, I need help.
Advice needed please: Has anybody ever been in a situation where something traumatic or heartbreaking was happening in their life and struggled with rumination? I know there is like a normal amount that you should process something and cry it out but I don’t know that it is conducive to anything to do that on and off for hours? Wouldn’t it at a certain point be considered unhelpful rumination? And if so how does one stop? Because I’m going through something so hurtful and confusing that I don’t know how to stop thinking about it and the usual distractions don’t work for very long. And idk how important this is but it just happened today so it’s very fresh which makes it even harder to not think about and “figure out” why x, y, z happened. Goodness, I’m sorry if I’m weird or a baby
I feel like all I do is ruminate. 😞 I can’t imagine what it would be like to NOT do that.
