My anxiety has been high lately.

I find myself ruminating on past mistakes. I also find myself going over past situations,looking for mistakes. Logically, I know this does no good, but I can't help my feelings or thoughts.

Just curious if others do the same thing as well?

I do this. And really castigate myself about mistakes. Then worry about consequences. It very destructive. Severely impacts my quality of life. In my case, OCD related.

Try not to dwell on the past and try not to be so critical of yourself. We learn from our past mistakes. But we don't need to stay there. Try to just deal with the present day at hand. Stay mindful. You'll get the best results.

Hang in there and stop beating yourself up.

I really do that too from time to time.
But please don't torture yourself for it. Every human being does that. It's just some do it and never think about it again but some ruminate.

One of the drs I talked before taught me a practical thing to do when I notice that I start ruminating.
I just play the scene in my mind but this time instead of myself, I put another person I know in the same situation. And then see how I would think/feel about that person. And see the difference.

Treat yourself good
