Mortiphoric loop
A never ending cycle of thoughts that mentally, emotionally, or physically drain a person, ultimately leading to their deterioration. That begin with the awareness of a negative situation or emotional state, which spirals them into self-pity and hopelessness of their current situation. The individual becomes trapped in this cycle by repeatedly returning to the same distressing thought or feeling, reinforcing the belief that their situation is unchangeable, leading to a deepening sense of despair. This loop makes it next to impossible to break free from, as each cycle reinforces the last.
"After having a suicidal ideation, I fell into a mortiphoric loop, as I was reflecting on the fact I had a suicidal ideation and it made me think about how bad my life was and that led to me having another suicidal ideation. This cycle keeps repeating itself and I can't escape it"
"Her mortiphoric loop kept her stuck in a cycle of regret and self-blame, unable to move forward."
"He was caught in a mortiphoric loop where every time he felt down, his mind would take him back to the same dark thoughts."
