Yeah, I do, i try not to but it happens; i usually snap out when im 100% engaged with an activity unrelated to the rumination though. So it never lasts more than a few days max usually

I ruminate all the time. I’ve made a lifestyle of it.

I don’t really ruminate on them, but sometimes very traumatic memories will kind of flash in my mind. They can seriously mess me up for a few minutes sometimes.

I’ve made it a habit to watch my thoughts like forest rangers watch camp fires. I sometimes detect early deviations such as unusual connections between disparate facts or strange imagery or obsessive memories. At that moment I turn the screw on myself and force myself to stay zen, to focus on something tangible, to stay in the moment. This skill is damn hard to build, but pays off tenfold.

I ruminate if I try to distract. It just happens I think in circles back. Every day.

I used to ruminate a lot like for entire days from sun up to sun down it was like stuck on auto pilot, id even try and talk it out loud to stop it but it cluld go on for hours. Ruminating excessively can be a bit of an ocd thing which i do have as well. Oddly enough since i started taking ritalin i ruminate way less. I think cuz my emotion is more regulated.

I ruminate on my health, also bad thoughts.

I’m hardly ever engaged with an activity and ruminate during everything and in every conversation. More than that, I ruminate on conversations I’m having in my head, and not in reality.
I think its OCD that’s causing it initially, but schizophrenia that keeps it alive.

Yeah thats pretty much how I ruminated. It was conversations about stuff running on and on in my head.

Yeah, I’ve done it my whole life, but now it’s way worse.

Much of the time it was also hard to tell if it was a voice talking about me as well because it would refer to me in the 3rd person like an on running commentary.

Yeah same, I also have voices in my head that talk back at me like internal monologue, but yet, it’s not. My therapist says it’s still auditory hallucinations because it’s coming from the language part of your brain.

I am struggling with this problem this week. I try to busy myself with distracting activities.
