Ruminating = Anxiety?
Ruminating = Anxiety?
I have been in recovery for almost 3 years. I've had a few 'bumps' along the road, but have been pretty much sober during this time. One thing that has plagued me since giving up drinking is rumination on the things that I did while drunk. I know regret and shame are things we all feel but I seem to be focusing way too much of my thinking on stupid/embarrassing things that happened while I was drunk. I can't seem to control these thoughts as much as I should.
Could my ruminating be an anxiety issue?
Could my ruminating be an anxiety issue?
Just this word caught my attention as it is my favorite word to describe my qualifier at times. Have you considered a fair 12 step approach as a way to come to terms with your past? Or if you practice a faith, is there a ritual of forgiveness? Good luck ferreting out whether it is guilt or anxiety.
