Hi all. What does rumination look and feel like to you?

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

It’s constantly thinking about things you don’t 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. 🔫 Totally impossible, but you gotta do whatever you can to combat the thought right? 🤦 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 don’t feel like it’s right, something feels off. She’s too ________ or isn’t _________ enough. My ex so-and-so wasn’t like that. Maybe it’s not right and there’s someone out there that isn’t so _________.
