So I soemtimes worry about those things and I would do the same thing in that case. I just destract myself with friends or whatever. im not good at it but it has helped some.

I agree with the above, and I do ruminate, not to the same degree, but I think some people are worriers, some are extreme worriers, and some people use worry or anxiety to keep them going from one thing to the next. I think keeping busy, and having your mind occupied is very good, but of course, sometimes the rumination is just overwhelming, and I guess that's what therapy and meds will help with. I guess it's a matter of degree. Sounds like yours is a bit overwhelming.
