Does anyone have any strategies for this? Has anyone made progress and reduced or stopped dwelling/ruminating?

Some things that help me are distracting, such as a cleaning or organising task, but it only lasts as long as the activity lasts then my brain switches back.

If you knew me in real life you’d probably think I was ‘normal’ but maybe if you got to know me better you’d start to realise I was ‘worrier’ even then you probably wouldn’t realise the full extent because I don’t divulge it to many people.

Yeah, I know how to overcome this. Practise of Mindfulness.
