Lola, you mention replaying conversations in your head-- I hear you. I have like 300+ a week with my therapist in my head. When I get to a session, I don't know what I said and what I didn't sometimes. Reality and imagined scenarios intertwine.

>Thnks for responding, Its not so much that Im replaying the sessions. Its that Im reliving the events that brought me into therapy over and over all day every day. I think about what happened, how it happened, why and so on. Its so time consuming and depressing and Im worried its not healthy :(. Does this sound typical?
