Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

Aww man I'm sorry your situationship ghosted you. I thought you guys had real chemistry. You'll find someone else though. Hey why dont we hit the vintage store later, it's the perfect spot for you to try and pull a rebound. Yeah cuz everyone there is gonna be your age and stuff, and they'll all already be looking to pay a truly horrifying price for some dysfunctional, weird-smelling garbage that is lowkey haunted for real. No? Are you sure? Ok well I kinda need another itchy rayon negligee though so maybe we can raincheck.
