But seriously, if I'm stuck in a manic rumination it doesn't matter what I'm doing, not doing, etc. My mind races like on a hamster's wheel. Stuck on one subject, then stuck on another subject. The only way I can stop ruminating is by falling asleep. But the ruminating I'm referring to might be slightly different than what this thread is about; I'm not sure.

Okay, yeah...I just read the article and it refers to what I would call "normal" obsessing or ruminating.
