I am not asking for reassurance, I just need to get this off my chest- I’m sex-repulsed (have always been) and I don’t know why! I can’t stop ruminating about this. How do you deal with rumination? Do you have any tips on being able to stop trying to figure things out?

Hi. Unfortunately, thinking begets thinking. The key is to try your best not to mind those thoughts. Like watching tv in a hotel room. There is artwork on the wall, the sprinkler in the ceiling, a towel in the bathroom. Are you thinking about these things when you watch tv? Probably not. Are you suppressing thoughts about them? Probably not. You're simply not paying them any mind. You have to treat the unwanted thoughts in your head as objects that are simply there. Rumination can't get rid of them so don't try.
