Rumination
Has anyone here ever been able to get relief from an intrusive thought by ruminating and going over and over it in their memory to try and figure it all out? Is it even possible?

Not me. It’s been 7 years 😂 Rumination is just an illusion of problem solving

Nope. That just makes it worse and why rumination is considered a compulsion.

I was interested to see if it ever helps anyone. For me it doesn’t, in fact it makes it worse but I find myself doing it repeatedly. Logically I I know it’s wrong but instinctively I do it and feel in denial if I don’t.

Even if I look back and just scan the past myself, I always come up with something that feels very real like I remember it vividly. I just can’t get it out of the habit looking back and sometimes put things in my own mind. If I forget I put it there than I’m messed up even more.
