i deal with the same problem.. 24/7.. and i pray for God to cleanse me of those thoughts but its so difficult.. i think the best way is to realize that its just a memory.. a moment in the past thats dead and buried.. you're in a different moment now and thats all that matters.. i try to convince myself of that everyday.. the memories come back but i just shun them away and dont allow them to overwhelm me.. hope you feel better soon.. :)
go back to YA Q&A.The info there could help you.
I tell myself that I will strive to be a better person and then I set goals for what I'd like to improve about myself. It would help if you indicated what kind of memories. if i was cruel to someone I apologize, even if it seems like it is too late. If I just have a quality that needs changing I make an effort to be more conscious of it.
well tell u the truth i just cut..and cry
Good question. I know what you mean and it's hard when they come flooding in uncontrolably into your head. I've been talking this through with my therapist and what i try and do is picture something calm in my head and then bring touch smell and sounds into it. It takes practice but really works especially when i'm trying to sleep and find that i'm shouting out to myself to shut up. I have to tell my self it's in the past and the future is all that counts.
Generally when we are stuck or fixated on past traumas, guilts, etc. we need help to work through them. Counseling can be very effective in this area. Insurance usually covers this completely. You will feel better. It may be hard to take that step, but you can do it!
There are also groups for different things like growing up in a dysfunctional or alcoholic family, Sex addicts Anonymous etc. What ever your hang up, there's a group for you where you can learn how others worked through their issues.
we all have bad memories talk to someone about them maybe even a psychiatrist but talk to someone it will help to get it out pray about it try to forgive i know you will never forget but for your own peace of mind you have to forgive believe me i have been through hell and back in so many ways and yeah i still have problems i suffer from severe depression and panic attacks but every day i have to try to give it to god and just keep trying to get by you will be ok good luck and god be with you
