Hi everyone hope you’re all well as can be, just a question on ruminating thoughts, how long does your thought pattern get stuck in a cycle? I have been thought looping for a month now on something new and it’s the longest loop yet x

Hi. At times I can ruminate on a thought for weeks before it’s replaced by a new one. Sometimes though when I’m feeling ok an old one will come back and I find myself back in the loop again. So annoying!!!

It’s crazy isn’t it, I’m stuck in one at the moment x

It certainly does! Often I manage to get rid of a loop for a while, and then another takes its place. And then an old loop will come back and take over. It's like being on a treadmill, but without the usefulness of exercise!

Hey Charlulau2412, yes I have had this same thing.Mine involves names.My brain tries not to think a name but does anyway.It starts when I wake up until I fall asleep.Honestly it went away on Prozac but I flushed my system with a detox drink and didn’t know the meds would also flush out my system.Now I’m dealing with it again.Are you on medication?
