Ruminate 

Focusing on past events in your life, typically ones that didn't turn out the way you would've wanted, and reflecting on them relentlessly with a strong outlook of yourself feeling worthless and inadequate. Depression and anxiety usually follows.

A very common negative thought process after breakups.

Jim: "The definition provided by Jack didn't get very many likes. It didn't even get a whole lot of views for that matter. Now Jack ruminates in the event with thoughts of failure and poor self-image."

James: "Jack looks like he has a lot on his mind."
Jane: "His girlfriend just dumped him. It was simple incompatibility reasons."
James: "Ouch, but why is he taking it so hard? They were only dating for two months."
Jane: "Jack spends a lot of time inside his own head with negative self-talk." He ruminates too much instead of using this as an opportunity to grow and improve."

Rumination 

In psychology, rumination is when you can't take your mind off of something, often a bitter or negative experience you had in the past, and it still continues to bother you. You try to combat these intrusive thoughts, but they keep coming back no matter how hard you try to push them out. Rumination can be anywhere from a few minutes to an entire hour.

This is often due to a lack of resolution/rectification towards the bitter experience, especially if you failed to take control of the situation.

Rumination can also be about future events or goals, especially a harmful, unhealthy and unrealistic goal that you want to pursue.

The more you ruminate, the deeper the hole you're digging for yourself. It is better to stop ruminating early, or else you might end up in a very unhealthy state, both mentally and physically.

Peter had plans to assemble his Ikea furniture today, but during the assembly his mind wandered off and he started to ruminate about his ex and how she "borrowed" his money but never returned it back, and afterwards broke up with him. He had all these malicious thoughts inside his head and wanted to execute them all, but couldn't get himself to for the sake of his sanity. Peter's rumination costed him an hour's worth of time.

Rumination Syndrome

Rumination disorder is a condition in which a person will unintentionally/unconsciously bringing up food from the stomach into the mouth (regurgitation) and rechewing the food and either swallowing the rechewed food or spitting it out, usually during or soon after eating. Unlike puking, regurgitating doesn't feel forced, regurgitating almost seems to happen naturally, without effort, like a normal reflex of your bodies' organs.

Rumination seems to be a spectrum, as in everyone experiences it differently and on different levels. Some people have their physical health completely deteriorate to the point of hospitalization, while others may not even notice that they have Rumination Syndrome to begin with.

Some people associate Rumination Syndrome with eating disorders (specifically Bulimia) due to the fact that they are similar in nature, but doctors have not found a direct link between Rumination Syndrome and any eating disorders.

If you think you may have Rumination Syndrome, please look at a more detailed and professional website with more detailed facts and see a doctor as soon as possible. Rumination Syndrome can be a very serious health concern and have a lot of negative effects on your life.

Person 1: "How come you never eat a lot?"
Person 2: "It's because of my Rumination Syndrome, it causes me to regurgitate most of the food I eat, so it's uncomfortable for me to eat a lot."

cyclical rumination 

The constant pondering over and over again about an issue and not doing anything to resolve it.

Verbal cyclical rumination - do something about it (ie put something into action) or stop verbalising it coz I don't wanna hear about it again.

"You have to do something about this cyclical rumination, its not healthy, act on it!"
