I hate ruminating, the thoughts come to my mind automatically, I dont think about them but they come by their own. I feel frustrated. I dont want these thoughts to come to my mind. I wanna be normal how I was back then

Itās constantly thinking about things you donāt want to think but you think you can you can fix it somehow then feel bad. Ends up beating you down.

It feels like trying to put out a bonfire with a squirt gun. š« Totally impossible, but you gotta do whatever you can to combat the thought right? 𤦠Very frustrating and draining.

If anything I care about comes close, it becomes a rollercoaster, anywhere from minutes to hours, to full days of ruminations.

Is this relationship right? Is there someone better? I donāt feel like itās right, something feels off. Sheās too ________ or isnāt _________ enough. My ex so-and-so wasnāt like that. Maybe itās not right and thereās someone out there that isnāt so _________.

@bellag My early relationships I was obsessed with my partners. Like I couldnāt live without them, and I needed them to survive(obsessed about them) Then it switched and now I obsess about things in my relationships and why it proves itās not the right relationship. Itās exhausting and terrible

Yeah I recently fucked up a relationship, and only in hindsight can I see that I was totally doing this. Fucking sucks.

Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, Iāll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, itās kinda like how a āvisionā is portrayed. Iāll get a glimpse of the thought and then itāll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I donāt know if Iām causing this or if itās just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if itās just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I donāt know how to stop any of this. Help?

I find that the intrusive thoughts that hurt me the most are the quiet ones. The ones that, at a glance, can be hard to differentiate from your own thoughts. The louder thoughts are easy to diffuse, to say "maybe, maybe not" to but the quiet ones leave me ruminating for hours trying to figure out if they're mine or OCD's. They leave me feeling disconnected from those around me and even from myself. I can go from happily thinking about marrying my boyfriend in the future to feeling like I have never actually loved him in a matter of minutes all because a thought was a whisper rather than a scream. This is my first post and I'm not sure what I'm looking for in making it. Advice? To know I'm not alone? I guess if there's anything you feel the need to share I'd love to hear it.

So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget
