In this video, we're going to talk about why rumination fuels anxiety and OCD and how to stop the cycle.
Ruminations can be a normal part of thought process, but if they spiral out of control, they can lead to obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and even anxiety. In this video, we're going to discuss ways to stop the cycle of overthinking and ruminations, so you can feel and function more effectively.

What thoughts do you have that just won't stop?

@the_beevsknees 5 месяцев назад

POCD and Harm OCD is typically what gets me ruminating the most but I try to remember this tool about being told ti get off the treadmill (rumination) and then asking well what do I do now? ANYTHING you want BESISES getting back on that treadmill. This reminds me that hey...I'm on this treadmill of rumination not going anywhere. I'm going to get off and continue with whatever it was I was doing.

@eequalswtf6281 5 месяцев назад

I thought I had OCD, EVERYONE says I do. Then I came to this channel to see others stories and how they handle things. And the First post I read from your channel was someone wrote "i thought i had OCD, but then i came here and now i am doubting it". I can't get this out of my head, That's me. I have every symptom that I have heard mentioned. Except I don't seem to only hate my OCD like alot of people do here..... I also like parts of OCD. (I have prevented a house fire twice by my "patrols"). This liking my OCD partially makes me wonder if I even have it because liking it seems abnormal. But this doubt tends to be a symptom of OCD. And around and around I go wondering if I even have it. And I know I will wonder for months. And the circle continues.

@vincentschirripa532 5 месяцев назад

Hi Nathan. How are you? Hope all is well. Let me introduce myself. I'm 52 years old and been battling with generalized anxiety disorder for over 20 years now. For the most part, it's been under control. I've seen a psychiatrist a couple of times and I told him that I've been also experiencing intrusive thoughts of self harm (suicide) which I'm totally against. I have no desire to act on it, but for some reason these fleeting thoughts come about and it's like I'm questioning do I actually have the intention at the moment. It frightens me. My psychiatrist upon learning this , he diagnosed me not with OCD, BUT RATHER OCPD which I find it strange. I thought it would be OCD instead. Can you help. I'm on medication for my anxiety. 200mg of Zoloft, plus 2mg of aripiprazole for the most part, it's working except for these intrusive thoughts.

I agree. haha.

Thank you so much! Just ran across this. I have such a hard time ruminating about work. I once counted how many times in 30 minutes I was doing this. Surprised how many times in a short amount of time I was doing this and not aware. One trick I now use is naming my brain, "Amy" (after the amygdala that causes a flight or fight response) Giving thoughts (and my crazy brain) a name helps me bring the thoughts and feelings into the light. It also helps you control your brain and not have it control you. If it gets too bad I will stop and focus on the colors around me. It helps ground me and bring me back to the preset time.

Watching videos of this kind helps me. To hear it from someone that cares, and gives positive advice. Also hearing others speak about they're experiences, is a relief. I have had pure o ocd/anxiety for 6 years. I can manage it now. Takes time and effort. Work on all areas, mind and body. Diet and fitness does help. Also exposure to everyday life. I have now crippling obsessive thoughts. Always did but they have taken a more disturbing role. I hope everyone out there suffering gets relief.

One of my big rumination topic is which job would be the right one. Having had lots of bad experiences in jobs and being raised where work was the most important thing in the world on one hand side and experienced being weaker in many different ways on the hand side makes it difficult. Having adhs and mcas and trd makes it even much more complicated. I feel trapped and doomed.

Thank you for the video. I have certain kinds of intrusive thoughts and patterns of rumination afterwards and I can’t find anything that regarding this specific issue. I have to remember anything or rather recall specific things (like “what did person x say ten minutes ago” “what are the last three thoughts I had” and so on). It’s frustrating because these intrusive thoughts can be triggered anywhere at anytime by myself or other people, situations and objects. I’m aware of the fact that these aren’t normal and are considered as intrusive thoughts, I also know that this whole issue wastes tons of time and energy. But I can’t find a good way to deal with them also due to good feeling and the gut feeling / connotation that I benefit from the things that I remember.

Whenever I pass by something on the ground resembling a bat my brain tells me its a bat and that I have touched it and that I have rabies now.

The triggers are also becoming harder to bear everytime, for example 3 days ago it was night and I saw something small and dark on the ground and I didnt see it clearly but you guessed it, my brain says its a bat and that i touched it, creating a false memory and now i feel like i cant know what actually happened...I feel like Im going crazy

I keep ruminating whenever I'm studying about different fictional events that will unlikely happen or people or certain events or videos I've seen, and they get repeated in my head for hours sometimes, once I had a fight with my mom and the fight scene kept getting repeated in my head for almost 3 hours. I hate it because it effects my studying and focus horribly and makes me anxious.

Listen i am continuely thinking about how i like someone and i shouldn't so i try to forget him but it friking hurts and your phenomena about thinking about your problem and accepting it I cant do that cause thinking about him/her makes it even more realistic do what should i do And if i dont move thoes feelings i might do something i would regret

Last week at an ultimate frisbee match, I caught the disc and looked at one side of the endzone, and it looked like I was in (that I had scored), so I put my hands up and made the score sign and moved on. But for a second when I turned around, it looked like one of my feet could have been on the line (between the field and the endzone), so I started thinking, "What if I was on the line and should have told everyone that I wasn't in (so we should have kept playing the point)?" This thought has come back and tried to tell me that if our team wins the championship, that we won't deserve to win it because of what I did (or didn't do). I've tried telling myself, "Yeah, I made a mistake." But so far, it's like my brain won't accept it and let me move on. I think I need to say things to myself like, "Yeah, we don't deserve to win the championship." - I'll try that and see how it works.

I had been in a “situationship” for a good 5+ months. Started as “dating” and a month in she told me she wasn’t romantically interested but genuinely wanted to be friends. This led to long daily communication and messages. We had everything in common and shared all the same values. End of September she began rehearsing for a play and communication slowed immensely. Came and saw the play twice including closing night. She suggested we get together for a meet up day to catch up but ghosted me after the play. So that whole “situation” is what I ruminate over. Comes down to a lot of insecurities on my part. She also had issues of her own, but come on man! Oh good ole rumination.

That's not ruminating brother! She obviously isn't into you and you might be obsessed.

@JoshuaJH1987 5 месяцев назад

@@TaquitoDeAsada according to my therapist, it’s a combination of rocd and real event ocd. And my ruminations aren’t strictly based on the romantic side either.

Also, obsessed yes, hence obsessive compulsive disorder. The situation and how it makes me feel is the obsession and my ruminations are the compulsions. Sometimes referred to as pure o.

She's suggested a meet up and then ghosted. Given you a crumb of hope to follow then nothing. Happens all the time. Most people really into someone would feel just the same. The minute someone you really want says no to you you need to cut them out for your own well being. If they want friendship - tough. Neither of you gets what you want, but you don't suffer as much.

@JoshuaJH1987 5 месяцев назад

And to be clear, we’d hung out as friends a few times already, so it wasn’t something new or unheard of. But regardless, gotta cut them out from the beginning for your own good. Lesson for next time I guess.
