    ‘Ruminating’ might be a good alternative for ‘Turning over in my mind ever since’.

      A person who uses this isn’t going to know that word however. They are looking for simple, not just abbreviated.

      It’d probably still need to say “ruminating ever since” to avoid losing sentiment. Ruminating doesn’t inherently imply a super long term impact.
