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

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 about a guy
the most debilitating ocd flare-up i’ve been having for the past few months has been about the guy i used to talk to. we weren’t dating per-se, but whatever was going on between us was very confusing and unclear, and it ended up with me being very hurt. he was basically leading me on, and couldn’t commit to me. it’s been months since we’ve stopped talking and i still can’t stop thinking about him. i don’t even care about him that much in an objective sense, but i am genuinely obsessed with him. everything i see reminds me of him, and my mind is constantly running through thoughts about him and our situation — why did it go the way it did, what did i do wrong, does he still think about me, etc. it’s honestly so humiliating and makes me feel pathetic because i know he’s probably moved on by now, and i still can’t handle the thought or sight of him. i just wish i could stop ruminating, because it’s gotten so bad that i can’t focus on school or anything else in life. it’s so constant to the point where, when i bring it up to my friends (which is very often), i’m met with concern and even frustration rather than sympathy. how can i cope with the rumination? it’s genuinely exhausting, and i can’t sleep at night because my brain is just running like a motor. i have dreams about it almost nightly as well. anything helps!

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.
