I find myself doing this frequently, and I cannot let something go... on and on it goes, the endless thoughts about the issue. I have tried to distract myself with activities and I have also tried to direct my mind to other thoughts, but my mind seems to always wander back to the issue I am ruminating on. It's making me nuts!

OMG, this is exactly what's happening me after the thing I told you about tonight. Sometimes I can let it go when I've somehow gotten it to make sense in my head. I know it's a little bit about how I process things. I have to get it to a place in my head where I can understand it or at least label it, and then I can let it go.
But sometimes it doesn't work and the vicious cycle of rumination continues.
But yes, I totally get you on this.
