Here's one from the archives. I’ve always struggled with this problem, though at the time I didn’t know the name of it: rumination. I call it the obnoxious roommate living in my head, and as this interview makes clear, we’ve been lifelong roommates! What I know now — and wish I’d known then — is that this roommate becomes more vocal when we’re tired and depleted, so taking care of myself is a way to clear the room. Do you have a similar roommate? And how do you handle it? Let me know in the comments!
