About a year ago I did stuff to deep to get onto. But I am curious others point of view about my topic. So I have thoughts about my depression and how it steals a lot joy. There are more but here are couple of examples. I have thoughs that I don't enjoy watching my favorite shows on tv which was great escape for me. Totally enjoying time with my dog always my sidekick my support animal. My mind comes up with things like "he is a chore now" I never had those thoughts till i tell into my deep depression and ruminations. I needed those shows to deal with ruminations. I need to escape these my ruminations I have for over a year now. My brother calls it tripping. But they these thoughts that keep popping in my head all the time. No distractions work, because when i do anything the ruminations run in the background , it drives me insane. I have severe change in the last year. I have had ruminations but none this severe. It could be Due to me not be happy about where I got myself in life. There misery. I even question them by not say they are true but they keep beating up my mind.

I get this way too. When old favorite ways to distract from intrusive thoughts no longer work the way they once did, what helps me is to find something new. The novelty excites my brain and gives me something more positive to become obsessed with, and unhappy obsessions/ruminations fade away. Maybe it would help to try something new with your dog as well, even if it's just going for a walk in a new place, or teaching him a new trick or giving him a new toy. You can experience this novelty together and feel closer again.

When someone upsets me, rumination is a very bad habit of mine too. My brain obsesses without me even being aware. I get too tired to take notice.

These thoughts interupt my sleep too. Grrr

Lately panic has been creeping over me regularly with hot sweats.

I think overthinking is our way of trying to prepare ourselves for the possibilities that lie ahead. I am not so good at dealing with the unexpected and like to prepare in advance but spend too much time worrying about things that don't happen.

Sending hugs

Thank you both for responses. Thirty shades I have that exact problem. A lot when I was younger, grudges, and quite a bit being an adult. Serpentine I will try some of those.
