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.

(20f) I have been dealing with severe OCD symptoms for as long as I can remember. I recently got diagnosed about a year ago, and even though I know that these thoughts are probably my ocd, I still cant shake them. Growing up I was always very sexually curious. I was sheltered from a lot of things, as I went to a private school and things like sexuality and sex were never talked about. I remember doing some weird sexual things growing up (never affecting another person), looking up taboo sexual things, etc. I always seemed to become aroused no matter what the situation was, even if I just saw someone getting changed. I have no recollection of being SA'd, so i'm wondering where this all came from? Was I just curious and wanted to experiment and try different things? Or am I really a pervert, pedophile, etc. I have all these thoughts racing through my head and it's killing me. Everything I did as a kid I look back on and am disgusted, as those don't align with my views at all today. I never thought growing up thinking these things were wrong, or actually realize what they were until I got older. I'd like to think it was just my curiosity, but i'm not sure. What if i'm in denial and actually do like these things? I just need to know if theres something wrong w me, I cant keep going on like this. Could really use some advice.

Hello everyone. Does anyone have any tips on how to forget something more quick? I read some nasty things as a kid and I remembered it a few months ago. I considered doing bad things to myself when I remembered. I just want to forget that I read this.

i feel like i have been posting a lot about this and i will try to stop since now but i just don't know where to start or what to do, and i can't take therapy right now either. my event is about something that did actually happen; i had a boyfriend and we had a 1.5 age difference (i know this sounds stupid) but the thing is that we both started to sext a lot since he was 14 and i was 15. we shared audios videos pictures ect and i don't know how to just let this go, even when i know that i never really forced him into anything and i was always constantly worried about him being comfortable, when to stop and ect. the memories keep coming back to my mind and the guilt is eating me up slowly because i keep thinking that i'm a predator or a groomer or something like that. i don't know how to deal with the what ifs either, lately i haven't stopped thinking what if i sexually harassed or sexually exploited him or something like that. how do i deal with the cycle of guilt and constant what ifs if i also feel like my event is worse than others i've seen? please help me with this. it's getting a lil tiring and even if somedays i know how to deal with this, i still get really triggered sometimes. this wouldn't even bother me before, i wish i could just get back in time before this theme popped into my mind. my life has been a hell since then and i live constantly scared and suicidal.
