I experience severe rumination relating to trying to remember thoughts I've forgotten. These are often unimportant thoughts and I'm aware they are unimportant but I still expend considerable energy trying to remember them (these could be creative ideas, things I want to do, etc). If I remember the thought, the anxiety subsides immediately. If I do not, I can be anxious, depressed and basically debilitated for hours or even a whole day or so.

To many, this sounds like "pure O" OCD and I'm wondering if ERP would be helpful? I'm unsure because I don't know what I could effectively be exposed to. When I'm not anxious, the thought of forgetting something in the future isn't anxiety provoking at all and quite frankly seems kind of absurd.
Thanks for this!
