Do you have a good memory?

I have noticed that I have a good recollection of what other people have told me, therefore I often remember others by the conversation we had. I can remember someone I only talked to once, and how…Continue

What the....

Started by H Jan 18. 0 Replies 0 Likes

I've realized that my mind's automatic record function- the function I also name rumination- suddenly seems easy to deal with or turn off.I don't know what's happened, because there's been no sudden…Continue

Playing The Same Song Over And Over

Started by Tani. Last reply by fish.the.bulb Sep 19, 2012. 8 Replies 2 Likes

I will often play the same song over and over for the same daydream until I get it just right. Do any others here do this? I know it seems a little OCD, but it's usually only with songs really like…Continue

Comment by H on February 26, 2013 at 5:43pm: Hi. I'm having a good stretch with few emotions that I feel a need to share. I pat myself on the back. Meanwhile, I hope you want to use this forum to your benefit.

Comment by H on June 7, 2012 at 2:57pm: Hi! If anyone notice I'm not on so often it's because I'm blessed with busyness in my new job. I'm trying not to work too much and work at below maximum intensity, I don't want to hit the wall again:)

Comment by H on May 25, 2012 at 8:49am: Thank you all for joining this group. I highly recommend that you share in old posts or make new posts. I hope it will releave some shame and lighten your hearts like it has mine

Comment by H on November 30, 2011 at 9:33am: It seems we share the ability to "not forget" a lot of stuff. There are studies that say sad or depressed people remember more details than happy people. Happy people- on the other hand- forget a lot more often. So the key to this thing for me is the depression.

Comment by Elizabeth on November 29, 2011 at 11:50am: I do like Sandy and repeat scenes and dialogues and the such in my head until it feels right or complete. And I replay scenes of my favorite books and movies as well. I realized that I do go over things that I've done but negative situations more so than positive ones..

Comment by Wish Upon A Wish on November 29, 2011 at 12:22am: I do, and I often slightly change them in y favour, and wish I'd done something different, even sometimes for things that happened years ago. Also, scenes in my DDs happen repeatedly, like I'm trying to get a scene for a movie perfect, and once I've got them right, I often move on without even realizing it, but sometimes go back.

Comment by Mira on October 21, 2011 at 7:34pm: I often rethink/replay/stew over situations that were stressful to me and felt unresolved. I used to daydream having arguments with my ex boyfriend a lot...

Comment by H on October 14, 2011 at 12:27pm: My psychologist and I have successfully linked part of my reviews up to me being highly sensitive. I form very abnormally strong memories based on any emotion.

Comment by Destiny Lund on September 12, 2011 at 7:04am: I replay thoughts, images, & mostly scenes in my mind all the time. Some scenes are from as far back as 11 years old that I still have. Sometimes my mind will switch it up ever so slightly though.

Comment by khaughey66 on May 26, 2011 at 12:53pm: @Henrik, I've never noticed much of a difference on my daydreaming or ruminating on anti-depressants. I'm on one that I feel works well. I also take Buprenorphine to treat my opiate addiction as I am also a recovering addict. I take Welbutrin (anti-depressant). It does help a lot with my depression. I ran the gamut of almost all the other SSRI antidepressants to get to the Welbutrin which was hellish but I'm glad I found it. I function much better on it than off it. I find that I do still have a strong tendency to think negatively but when properly medicated I am actually able to talk myself through and out of habitual negativity and into a more realistic perspective. Depression is alllll about perspective in my case anyway.
