Can't take anymore

Purplemoon2008

I' have been  stuck  looping  over a conversation  that' I had with someone recently . The looping over this has been going on for the past 4 days I cant stop and I feel exhausted and suicidal I just can't carry on like this my brain will just not give me a rest. This isn't the first time I've been stuck like this once it went on for a year over a stressful situation. I literally feel like I'm loosing my mind .

  • Did the conversation not go as expected?

    Or are you just worried you or they may have misunderstood it.

    You can try to focus on what you know as fact, and try not to assume the rest. The facts are the facts, you can't change them. If you want a different result you could make a plan for that. By being in control and being clear it may help to stop thinking about it too much.

    If you need to be sure about your assumptions you could plan how to do that as well, like have another conversation and what you need to say.

    Perhaps writing it down may force you to crystallize your thoughts and you can then see them and go through them.

    Distraction may help for a while but they still come back. Only dealing with them in some way makes them really go for me, else I am just burying them.
