One of my hardest things is struggling with ruminating over the past. They are constantly popping into my head.

Following up! What ended up helping me was listening to music I know well - much harder to dwell on negative thoughts when the little voice in my head wants to sing along

I tell myself to stop because ruminating about it didnβt work before. Then I just notice the thoughts come in an donβt engage with them.

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

I feel like all I do is ruminate. π I canβt imagine what it would be like to NOT do that.

I ruminated too much this morning and got distressing mental images (and confirmation) which sent me spiraling again. How do I stop thinking about this and how do I get back to myself? I feel destroyed.
