Autistic rumination

LoneYeti

I find it hard to break out of negative repetitive thought processes where I constantly think about past mistakes and why I don't like my life or myself. I came across the concept of autistic rumination which is where an autistic mind is prone to repetitive thinking and can get stuck in this unhappy state. Does anyone else do this or have any tips of getting out of it?

  • I have repetitive thoughts,  both positive and negative. Even the positive torture me especially if I can't switch them off for few months. They finally stop but after few months the "old movie" starts again. I have some scenarios that repeat in my head constantly. And yes all this on the picture above- I relate a lot.
