check my previous post in my profile
I came across a post on instagram while i was just doom scrolling about a woman who abandoned her family. She was reported as missing and presumed dead but apparently she moved halfway across the country and started a new family and her old family found out like 20 years later. Now i dont care if this is real or not. What I dont understand is why am I so sick to actually feel scared and haunted by this. This didnt happen to me. This would never happen to me. I have nothing to do with this. This might as well be fake. Why did I just spend the last 3 days feeling haunted by this? why is my mind so ****ed up? what is wrong with me?? |

I don't know why this is so, but seeing that you have rumination and looping thoughts on repeat, I am positive that a daily journaling practice will reduce the burden of these symptoms on you.

Well I will try journaling but do you really believe it would help? I am just afraid that saying it out loud or writing it down on paper would amplify it and make it hurt more.

I believe it might initially hurt more, as a spike, but if you persevere, it will crest and die down. In the long run, it will help. Just be prepared for the initial spike.
It would also be useful to create a writing practice, where you dedicate a certain set time, ideally on a recurring schedule, to commit your ruminating thoughts to paper.
