As a human we unable to control all of memories that come across our mind in every seconds, daily. But you can manage to seperate things into its proper place, for an instance, memories are on the past, it's already done nothing can change it, so don't let it affect your current feeling. Put it on the right place, past and you can just focus on your current moment, present or your dream, future. Focus your mind on the present or future will give you more positive felling and energy cause it relates with hope whereas past usually related with regrets, sad, guilty etc. When unwanted memories come across your mind again just watch it as a movie, don't to attached to it.

Have you ever heard about false memory? Check it! But to resume, memories can be modified by many things, by your mental status or anxiety! Memories can change according to how you feel. Don’t overthink too much. They doesn’t mean nothing.

Thanks. I feel like they definitely weren’t false. I have a very good memory and the other person has a reputation for a bad memory. But I remember weird little things like they happened yesterday.

Yes I get that a lot and I try my best to brush it off and tell myself as a child I was not responsible if anything did happen and I was just curious or just innocent. but my friends had this big problem with me that I couldn’t control, I mean in the past couple years, I had a habit of bringing up times that they were really mean to me and it scarred me so that’s why I remember and when I brought it up they’d be like “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t remember ever saying that. I would never say that to you. You keep bringing stuff up from the past I don’t remember and you’re making me feel guilty. Why do you do that??” And it’s literally scarring shit that I would never forget like I told her there was a celebrity that kept me from self harming bc their music was there for me and whatever and they laughed at me and I cried. So like. I got better and not reminding them that they suck ? we’re all good now but it really used to suck.

I know I shouldn’t and I’m trying not to ask for reassurance but how do I deal with this when I made real event mistakes in childhood? I’ve opened up to my cousin about this who’s an adult and believes that kids can be influenced at a young age and mimic things that they see and friends and my therapist. They all see the good in me and my stupid childhood mistakes but the guilt is very strong and even though I’ve opened up It’s telling me to open up more and more and I don’t know what else it wants from me.

I have had the same false memory/instrusive image of me doing something horrible to someone when I was 12 and they were younger. It is a memory based on a real event. I truly don’t know if it’s real or not but obviously, the more I think about it the more I think it’s true. This has led my mind to become slightly paranoid. I worry that if this horrible image in my head is true then one day the person I might have hurt will come and k*ll me. I’m really scared I feel like I won’t feel better as long as this “memory” is in my head. Does anyone have advice?

i need some kind words or maybe some advice? basically i went through trauma as a kid including sexual, and acted out in disturbing ways. I’ve done things i regret. even as an early teenager i did also. the only weird things ive done recently were compulsions and weird ocd driven stuff… but besides that ive found it easy to forgive myself for a lot of stuff because i know myself and my intentions and also talking to people helps. but one thing that’s hard is when im intimate with others or in a relationship. i feel so gross and undeserving like if they knew everything ive done in my life they would hate me. I don’t tell everyone everything, i think i only did that with therapists and like one family member. I feel like if I don’t tell someone everything I’ve done that I regret and see if they forgive me for it, then that means im “hiding” something about me and being malicious. anything helps :(
