Rumination
If you're like most people, you've had the experience of obsessing over something stresfull that happened in your day. It may be a problem that replays itself in your mind over&over with no acceptable solution in sight. When these thoughts turn more negative and brooding, that's known as rumination.
Rumination is as stressful as it is common, in that it takes a situation that has already caused stress and magnifies the stress and the importance of the situation in our minds. Rumination also hones in on the feeling of helplessness we may have in our inability to change what has already happened.
