Table 3.

Examples of thought recalls

Unexpected thought	1. I questioned why humans do not consume acorns as they're extremely prevalent and other animals eat them. It was an extremely random thought 2. How exactly does the thought process of animals who have no language made of any diction, really work? What do their thoughts essentially take the form of? 3. What does it feel like to be color blind and not be able to see colors like other people?
IAM	1. I remembered the moment my grandmother told us they found something in her lung scan. It was after my brother's party. We were outside. It was a beautiful day, pre-COVID. Warm, sunny. There were no clouds in the sky. The chairs were spaced out and we were sitting in the front yard. All of a sudden, she blurted it out that they found something. She quickly went on that it was unknown, that it could be cancer, it could be aggressive cancer. She told us that if she died from it, she would want us to move on and not be too sad about it "because there are better things to do". I tried not to cry, I did not think about crying. I felt like I needed to let the information come and watch for my brother and my dad. Later, I think I cried 2. I was watching the TV show "Blown Away" which is a glass-blowing competition. They have fire torches and hazardous things everywhere. In one shot there were at least six unattended flames while people rushed through the room. I instantly was thrown back into my biomedical science lab in high school; a group left their tiny Bunsen burner flame unattended for maybe 30 s and she kicked them out of the lab for the rest of the day. So as I watched this TV show I was just in shock at the hazards and could only think of how mortified that teacher would be if she saw the show 3. The other day I was walking through campus and someone was talking to their friends and repeating the name of my ex-boyfriend. I heard it so clearly from so far. The memory of us on a hike with a few other people popped into my head. My mind grabbed me by the arm and brought me back a few years. I was able to perfectly picture the scene
Ruminative thought	1. One time I was really frustrated with my classwork and I could not stop thinking about how I must not be smart enough to finish school 2. I played soccer in high school. I was a defender and I honestly was not very skilled. My favorite thing to do was just kick as hard as I could and just send it down the field. We had a game under the lights at home against our biggest rival, and I was super nervous because the entire school was going to be there. I had been practicing shots on goal from half field, but never imagined I'd ever make one. But during that game I shot and scored. I could not stop thinking about how I could not believe I actually did it, let alone in that game. I was so shocked that all I could think was "wow, did I really just do that?" 3. Today, when I was leaving for class I remembered putting my computer in my bag, but the thought that I was forgetting it was repeating in my head. I checked twice because the thought kept persisting
