Yes, I have Pure O and it definitely turns into depression, which further fuels the ruminations. My therapist said ruminating is essentially a compulsion for me. Have you tried ERP or other therapy for the OCD? I have found working on mindfulness to be helpful. It helps me to catch myself when I am ruminating and redirect myself to focusing on the present.
