i want to ask y'all a question: can rumination not only be sitting and just running stuff through my head? like can posting be rumination???? i just want to know so i could label it as that and try to maybe limit it?

Yes posting like you are is considered ruminating. Let it go.

Look up ali greymond, what counts as rumination.

You are seeking reassurance, that's part if it.

yeah posting about it is because you’re dwelling on it, i think the main trick with ocd is to continue as if the thought isn’t there, not ignore it but give it no attention
