Hi all does anyone else struggle with looping thoughts? Mine are horrendous and once I'm stuck on an anxious thought I cannot stop and it gets so bad I feel like I don't want to be here anymore. I can't seem to distract myself from these thoughts
Yes. I keep returning to the same things, and going over them again and again. What is even worse is when they are not correct, or based on erroneous thinking. You resolve it, then forget and go over it again, and again.
For bonus points you can tell someone else, then keep steering the conversation onto the same topic, over and over. Till they get pissed off. And you don't even know you are doing it.
Now I've recognised it perhaps I can limit it.
I think there are short period loops and long periods loops. It is also related to stress, lack of sleep and how close you are to burnout, in my opinion.
It's awful isn't it stuart333. I do that too with others , it drives my partner up the wall . He says once you have gone over one think for weeks and weeks you then go onto another subject! Thanks for your reply x
