oh yes you might have ptsd. I do along with this. I have to make myself stop replaying the event over and over. ill even go over it out loud. what I have figured out is that bad stuff is gonna happen bc we can't control the world or other people we want to but can't. just worry about today and tomorrow it happened now let it go. you will just feel worse keeping on going over it and make you depressed. distract yourself when this happens-tv, music exercise,go outside and do something, I smoke which I don't suggest a bad habit but it calms me. keep us updated.

all the time. music sometimes helps me. distracts anyway. maybe you can try that?

I have done this for the last 3 years but recently I got a new perspective on what happened and how I interpreted it. I do see that what I thought was happening because of my anxiety was not really the case. I'm doing a little better but still tend to go back to repeat what was said ect.

I don't think there is a single person out there who doesn't think back on things, it is pretty normal. I know I often do it, and can find myself over thinking and stressing about it all. Used to keep me up at night, worrying about it all and thinking about the things I could do differently. But now I try and read my book in the evening before sleeping, to help clear my mind and transport into another world. It has helped alot, and its nice to be able to sleep more now.
Things do happen, and they are out of our control but that doesn't mean it is a bad thing. Life is full of mysteries and surprises, and the best way is to accept that it has happened and to learn from it all. People will accept you for who you are, so don't stress yourself unnecessarily about it all :)

Its actually called catastrophic thinking. And if you suffer from anxiety you have a better chance of thinking this way. You need to understand that everythig happens for a reason, and to try and just let go. If you catch yourself during these moments of uncontrolabe thinking, you need to ask yourself "am i causing my own suffering?" if the answer is yes, let go of the situation and accept reality. You do not have control over everything. If you are still freaking out over it, try and watch some funny videos. those AFV episodes help me, I know its bad but seeing other people mess up makes me feel better. Not because i take pleasure in their pain, but it shows me that no one is perfect and we should find humor in everyday mess ups.

Get some rest and use time to clear your mind.Instead of automatically thinking his is horrific, think how can it be fixed or controled. In time you will heal.My best energy sent, Heidi

You are describing my life. From the horrors of being a survivor of sexual abuse and the emotional issues that brought to my adulthood to the times that I have said or done things that I feel guilty about days, weeks, months and even years after it was long forgotten by anyone else I still have a sort of movie playing in my mind that I can't shake. The scenarios come back over and over like the time I... did this or said that... and then I realize that I can only think of one thing at a time so it's usually my idle time that these mental movies have the chance to play. I fully agree with the above comments about distractions. Just know that we have all had horrific situations in our pasts, present and will have in our futures that are beyond our control. We are human and we make mistakes or become victims. Forgive yourself. Ask forgiveness from those you may have hurt but don't carry yesterday into tomorrow. We all make mistakes. It's okay to own up to them and move onwards.
