Daymares

General Discussion/Question

Does anyone else get stuck in rumination loops that are so bad they end up feeling like a Daymare while you are awake? Like it's the same type of thought train that would drive a nightmare, but it happens while you are awake and without imagery. Then once you come out of it later you look back and realize the thoughts weren't grounded.

I think these might be how I process emotions, in that I don't always feel the emotion until there are words for what I'm struggling with. The feelings first show up not as feelings, but distorted thought patterns and rumination loops, which then leads to the recognition of feelings once my brain has found the words to describe it.
