The story

how do I stop my mind from constantly replaying the same incident, situation, experience or thoughts over and over again. it's like never ending. whether its a good thing or bad thing, it doesn't seem to leave my mind, especially not on the same day of occurrence. and it's getting annoying cuz if there was something I found embarrassing, I would think about it, feel all embarrassed and crappy, somehow manage to forget or chuck it to the back of my head, and then boom it hits me back again with goosebumps and depending on the situation, a rapid heartbeat.

when will my mind be settled and at ease/peace?

I mean it's not only negative thoughts as I've said before, it could be something funny or something that I'm proud of too, like ohh I finally spoke up to so and so. it's just that how can I possibly think about the same thing (with all the details and visuals) like 50 times in one day.

I also don't get over things very fast. If I'm annoyed with someone, shocked about something I found out, it's never a one time thing to think about, experience and forget it to never revisit it, or at least to revisit it briefly after some time.

there's more I want to say but I can't remember lol

help!

omg, totally get what you’re saying!!! can't stop replaying stuff either?? it’s like your brain's stuck on a loop, right?? 😩 no idea why that happens!! everything just keeps replaying like a broken record; feels like it's never gonna end!!! even the good stuff?? annoying as hell!!! feels like there's no off switch!!! tried everything but nothing works!!! who even has time for this mental circus?? seriously, brains need a chill pill!!!

hey there, i hear you but gotta say i'm not fully on board with it. yeah, everyone gets stuck on repeat sometimes, but i think it’s not as bad as it seems. had my moments too, but usually fades over time. maybe try not to give it too much attention? letting it pass by works for me. our minds work in weird ways, huh? hope you find some peace of mind soon! 🌟
