Rearrange the past?: Excessive ruminations sounds like it could be ocd -- and trying to rearrange the past is bound to fail. Practicing being in the present may help a lot more. If you don't want to work with a psychologist or other therapist, you could try "the ocd workbook: your guide to breaking free from obsessive compulsive disorder." http://tinyurl.Com/lajypae good luck.
