    Rumination is absolutely gutting. I get caught thinking about negative things incessantly. I literally say out loud "I'm ruminating again." I can't seem to get this to go away. Done my CBT training and find it difficult to stop this from happening. I also love staying in bed and just checking out. I'm finding a lot of this CBT strategy are just distractions, including meditation. Being social is tough in 2024, at least in my life. I'm single and everybody is married with kids.

    grief cripples me

    debilitates me

    paralyzes me

    I want to die

    grief rapes me

    my soul is tortured

    I am breathless in my pain

    I am bereaved in despair

    hopeless

    helpless

    anguished and tormented

    and begging and waiting just to die

    all I do is suffer

    I'm in hell with no escape

    This might seem random

    but…

    I CANNOT

    stop obsessing and ruminating

    and I have absolutely nobody to talk to about this

    and I need to get it off my chest

    (and I'm also willing to read responses,

    if anyone feels called to respond…)

    I had a HORRIBLE therapist

    HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE

    the worst

    but here's the thing…

    it's twofold:

    1) he's wildly successful

    (and I can't for the life of me figure out why or how)

    2) I saw him for almost all of 2023,

    I was so traumatized when I went to see him,

    that I just kept going,

    because I had nowhere else to turn…

    In the end, he really fucked me up.

    Instead of helping me, he traumatized me further.

    It's over 7 months now,

    and I can't stop obsessing over how he's traumatized me,

    and all the money I wasted, etc. etc.

    I can file a formal complaint.

    But the process seems long and arduous,

    and brings me no particular benefits…

    It's just that I can use my voice,

    and he can potentially get reprimanded…

    (Also, it's all just his word against mine!)

    But if I do this I have to do it soon…

    I don't know what to do?

    Any thoughts, anyone?

    1. Behavioural activation
    – cbt on depressed mood
    – evaluate current schedule ( what you’re doing too much of, and too little off) (too much tv & video games )
    – valued activities/ enjoyable activities / activities leading to a sense of accomplishment
    -rate mood before and after doing it
    – what would i tell a person i trust ( help distance a thought)
    – but if your thought that is true : QUESTION THE USEFULNESS OF THE THOUGHT – question how this is useful to keep repeating for yourself? What will happen if i keep repeating this to myself? What might happen if i changed my thinking?
    – FOCUS on problem solving ( do a plan and take action)

    – evaluate thinking error
