@Nour04 If you're on here making multiple posts over 3 hours to try to get help with anxiety, that is a form of compulsion

@Nour04 Anxiety isnt always in the body. It can come out in ways we don't think are anxiety. But by the looks of your post it definitely gives off the vibe that you're worried

Compulsions can change… one day it looks like sitting with your head in your hands thinking non-stop and the next day it looks like posting on a message board asking for reassurance. Some days you felt a sensation you label as anxiety and today you don’t feel that particular sensation. Don’t let it mean anything! Or say “maybe this means my theme is true, maybe not”. Also you could look at how to treat a back door spike.

Tips for rumination with real event?
I've been doing well the past month in cutting down on compulsions and have been feeling better however, last night I had a set back that carried on into today. I had gotten very poor sleep (4ish hours) and then something triggered my memory. I think with the sudden anxiety spike and lack of sleep I didn't have the strength to ignore my compulsions. Last night and today I've realised I've gone back into rumination and mentally reviewing the event excessively again and comparing my situation to other people's, but most of the times that I start going down these rabbit holes I don't even realise I'm doing it? Also been fixating a bit on the fear that I've ruined my progress and that I will fall back into the deep end of it all again, that I have done so much work getting myself out of, although trying my best to not be too discouraged. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with rumination more specifically?
