- rkalla 15y agoI am, thank you for that. Looked it up on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumination_(psychology) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumination_(psychology) ) and it sounds spot on. Originally I found the cow-cud-chewing article, and that sounded less spot on, but then I found the "mental rumination" link :)
- eavc 15y agoCud-chewing is the etymology of the psych term, actually. Regurgitating the same thing over and over... Glad you enjoyed the read. It's something I deal with personally as well.
