I don't think just rumination is mania as plenty of people have this problem without being manic, but if you have other symptoms (like lack of need for sleep and racing thoughts) the "speediness" of mania/mixed episodes might be contributing.

My only triggers were interpersonal events that were really upsetting. I do not feel deeply and ruminate, in general, about things that did not directly involve me and that I have no control to repair or cope with. I put in a lot of effort and deeply cared about the discord with the issues I’ve had with my relationships that went into the ditch. My efforts either helped us get closer, or were to no avail and I accepted the outcomes, knowing I did what I could. That makes me feel good about myself, how I gave it the effort because I cared. I was proactive. Good or bad outcome, I still feel empowered because I stepped up (even though in my case the other person did not). Feeling like you love yourself and have done your best is great for accepting whatever someone else tries to do to hurt you or simply doesn’t care. That’s on them. Also, in moving on from someone who was hurtful and didn’t care to repair, if you can find a way to see their personal weakness and feel sorry for them, it helps stops the hurt, anger, and causes for rumination. The ruminating is due to something unresolved. Closure is the solution for it. __________________ "And don't say it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, 'cause it hasn't!" . About Me--T |

I think mine might be related to mental illness and a chemical imbalance in my mind. |

Yet you are thinking about bad memories of things that really happened. Have you had some bad memories that you have moved on from and others that have not healed which drives the ruminating?

No. Medication slows the thoughts, but it does not stop them (for me). Rumination is common with BD. This is a good reference: Rumination in bipolar disorder: evidence for an unquiet mind | Biology of Mood & Anxiety Disorders | Full Text __________________ |

I often replay situations in my past that have made me angry. Where I was being yelled at or a situation where I could have lashed out and fought but I exercised self restraint and did not act on violence but sometimes wish I did and felt like I could. I am currently on a diet called keto and I think it effects my mood in some way and might effect mania or something. |

YES, everyday. Some are from bad memories and are from events that would never happen. I see I’m not alone in these ruminations. Mine get quite delusional at times and kind of freak me out. I don’t dare tell anyone, that would freak them out. I wish they would stop, so much wasted time and energy. Sometimes if they go on too long I’m exhausted afterwards. What works to get rid of these? I’m trying new medication, but it is still early. BP2 is exhausting. Any thoughts?
