So this may sound a little ridiculous to some. But I have a tendency to dwell on the negative and I don't know what to do to stop these thoughts. Meds? Therapy? I do have a T appt today and I wrote this down on my list of things to discuss.
Well in this instance, this is what happened... (trigger) well my bf and I were grocery shopping at night. I decided to check my FB while he was looking at something. Well I came across a friend's post that bashed people on social security then went on to call people like me, "dirty Mexicans". I was pissed!!!! Livid!!! That kind of talk does not sit well with me. Now I seen this post at 12am and I literally laid in bed till 5am imagining all the things I could say to this idiot. Well he must of been drunk and had a change of heart because when I woke up today, the post was deleted. I let this negativity eat at me all night. Does anyone else obsess about thoughts or situations like this? |

Yes! I've turned a thought around in my head like a CD on infinite repeat! Especially while a teenager.

I do that. I let comments in real life and on the internet dig their way into my brain and set me off into a downward spiral of depression and anger. It's so bad I blow off something I might have planned. I just get in the recliner, blanket over me, wasting time. I hate it, but when it happens I can't control it.

Yes I get stuck on situations and things people have said for a long time. Thinking scenarios over and over in my head, usually making me feel worse.

I've deleted Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat because it's all full of false pretentious big mouthed assholes but most of all its a complete waste of time and I genuinely think that social media is making the masses dumber by the minute. I was sick of picking up my phone every 5 minutes to look at crap. Now I prefer to just spend my time on psych and bodybuilding forums and educate myself on things that are important to me rather than look at peoples fake Facebook lives. No one goes on fb to tell you how their behind on rent,credit card debt and how their relationship is in tatters....They like to make people think their lives are perfect but in reality it's far from it. Don't know if their delusional are just ****ing idiots.

I can credibly present myself as both competent and sane on any social media platform, which is all you have to know about social media.

Every time I go on Facebook I regret it. You are not alone. I get stuck in a circular emotional cluster f@@k every dang time.

Thanks everyone for understanding. It's not just this one thing. I worry and dwell on negativity all the time. I talked to my T about it and she said I have to chose my battles and take time to calm down before I act. When I'm mad like this, I'm capable of starting a lot of crap and talking back. I need to just close my eyes and breathe. I might try guided meditation again.

Sorry this happened! I don't know why people are so damn ignorant. We have the whole internet available at our fingertips, yet people still can't be bothered to educate themselves, even though it's just a simple Google search. Takes 2 minutes or less to educate yourself.
My dad regularly says anti-MI things (which I know is not the same as this guy's comment), but I understand how hurtful and offensive these things can be. |

I tend to ruminate on such things. I have cut-off and ended 'friendships' based on horribly awful beliefs and outbursts. Now, it is perfectly okay to me to have a different political view than my own but; when they espouse hurtful racist, religiously intolerant, rants and hate I cut the ties. I just won't tolerate that. I just had to weed out someone I thought was close to me after they spouted off a similar post to that which bothered you. There is nothing wrong with unfriendng such hurtful people. You don't need them in your life.

After all the vitriol-flinging I've seen online recently, I am seriously considering making a T shirt with a giant snowflake on it, and the words "I'm a snowflake. I'm special. Look up - I brought friends."

I don't do any social media.
I read comments sometimes on news stories. People say the stupidest things. And people like to fight online. I don't ruminate too much. Used to when I did Coke in college.
