Rumination. Yes. This is what brings me back to the forums.
I really do not know how/what else to do, to stop the rumination.
At my age now --- mid-60s, alone in life, isolated, nothing whatsoever to look forward in what remains of my life --- Day after day, all through the nights, it is a neverending random 'slideshow' of memories of my life --- an intensive 'life review'.
It is not just the 'traumas' of my life that ruminate, nor is it 'negative self-talk'; much of it is 'the good' as well as 'the bad' ... but inevitably it comes to the traumas.
There is just too much that the traumas have taken, and at this age, I shall never regain, nor fully recover, I realize. I work on trying to come unto acceptance that there is simply so much with which I cannot come to peace in my life.
No: CBT, EMDR, mindfulness meditation -- nothing cuts the rumination for me.
Glad to know, gayleggg, that klonipin is helpful for you.

She is an artist without doubt disappointed that paradise was not as close in 1969 as she and so many others hoped it was. Her work is now filled with the reality of humanity's failure to achieve the prophetic dream of her song, but never without the hope that that day will yet come.
