I honestly can't get over certain things that have happened in my past. They seem to cross my mind at least once a day. Its giving me major anxiety. I don't think I will ever get over these things unless I move to a new area and start over. The place I live in and the people I see daily are just constant reminders of what happened. Any one else feel like this?
Depending on the exact nature of what happened, removing yourself from that situation may be a healthy choice. Constantly obsessing over negative things will not be beneficial to your mental health in the long run.
Sadly, you can move thousands of miles from where you are, but you go with yourself.
We all get over it. Time heals all wounds.
The sadness and anger goes but the memories live on.
I felt something akin to what you've described shortly after I married ex husband number one. Now in retrospect I believe it was a sign that I'd made a terrible mistake. I really did love him, but I think we rushed into marriage way too soon. I also think I made a terrible mistake when I dropped out of college to marry him and move two states away. I'm not a big fan of long distance relationships, but I probably should have stayed where I was and finished school instead of rushing into things like I did.
Yeah, I know the feeling all too well. It's hard to move on from something when you're constantly reminded of it.
I know from my own painful past that is really is better to just move away and start fresh with new friends etc. I cut off all contact with my family and I take care of myself. Yes it is lonesome sometimes and at holidays I see my friends and their families being happy but mine was not like that at all. Make a new life for yourself and do what makes you happy. The painful memories will never go away if you are staring at them everyday.
