Friends, many a truth is spoken in jest. Sometimes it helps to laugh at my problems. I offer this lightheartedly.

I love this format for self-revelation, Oak.
(I wish the damn spammers would allow for regular links in posts, I guess I will broach the subject of paid anti-spam for the forum that I pay out of pocket. The board administrator in Finland is very hard to get a hold of, though, he would have to work with me.)

If I never hear this inane remark again it will be too soon:

I love the whole idea of generating memes from life events, such good stuff, Oak! So creative!

Thank you, Manuel Moe,
Friends, I found a new meme, “This better not awaken anything in me”:

Edit to add:
I’m exhausted, so I managed to make two mistakes: his name and the name of the song, though Jewel’s Foolish Games also still slaps thirty years later.
And, to save you a Google search, here is the cause of said awakening, especially the minute starting at about 2:46.

"Poke fun at myself"....
Maybe this is a good a place as any for this. (No memes yet though).
So, I was getting ready for work today, and starting to ruminate and go negative about things/people. After one short internal monologue, I caught myself in the mirror.
Instantly thought "What you just did was ALL in your head, and kinda stupid, wasn't it...?"
Made a face and started laughing. Glad I can still do that sometimes....

Hello SnoringDog!
yes, the good ol' rumination
the only thing that worked for me to keep rumination from ruining my life was medication
now i am working on getting less tripped up by negative memories or thoughts dropping into my mind from my subconscious
when it happens, i visualize taking that part of my mind that drops those negative memories or thoughts, and holding that part of my mind as a baby, and rocking and soothing that part of my mind.
this works a lot better than anything else i have tried

@Manuel Moe: I'm glad you found that medication, Manuel Moe. Keep us posted.
Also, friends, I forgot how arch my most recent meme was!
