Hi

From my knowledge rumination is when you replay past events or thought constantly. The best way to stop it is too not interact with thoughts by simply letting them pass by without panicking about it or doing any compulsions. Its scary because your gonna think you don’t care about your thoughts and you’ll think your a bad person but its not true. Its a thought and the best thing to do is acknowledge and continue with your day

Where I'm confused is because I always remember the thoughts n I'm wondering if it's rumination to think about the situation for example i have a fear of going crazy and it always pops up in my head and I'm wondering if I'm purposely trying to remember n how do I stop

Here is a different prospective on ruminating. The human brain has limited capacity for storing memories. Periodically, it employs a process akin to a computer's "Garbage Collection," identifying old or irrelevant memories and presenting them for review to determine if they can be safely discarded. While non-OCD individuals can easily dismiss these memories, those with OCD become indecisive. As the brain urgently seeks to recycle these areas, it repeatedly presents these memories, causing discomfort akin to the pain experienced when something is wrong with our body. This cycle perpetuates itself.

😂can you summarize this in a more humanely way 😂pls

Are you saying the thought I'd going to come but I just need to let it be until it stops
