i’ve done that too for some stupid reasons but yeah it can be ruminations. once i was at the hospital and i wasn’t being let in the ER fast enough bc my heart rate calmed down so i started ruminating on things bc i thought maybe that would get my heart pumping, then i realized that was stupid and stopped but a few days later i started ruminating on WHY i did that it was a big mess 😭

I had a horrible intrusive thought last night and I just happened to think about it on purpose trying to calm myself down I guess and I was just wondering if that was considered ruminating. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Ocd sucks

intrusive or not
are they truly intrusive thoughts or am i thinking and creating automatically graphic images that i dont want to think? i think it happens because it's too easy once you're anxious abt it. i dont enjoy it. i just saw a trigger and had a graphic disturbing se&ual image in my head.

Question
Please how can an intrusive thought be distinguished from our own thoughts ?

Rumination as a Compulsion
I've been told it's impossible to "push intrusive thoughts away", but also that rumination is a compulsion. What is rumination vs. overthinking? And how do I stop ruminating properly and healthfully?
