Is it normal to repeat a really embarassing moment over and over in your head, even when it happened a year ago? I hardley get any sleep and I get really stressed and upset about the event. I never sleep soundly at night. Help me!? Is this normal?
Ya I say that's normal it's a proven fact that the human mind remebers things it wants to forget and forgets things it wants to remeber
Yeah. Like one time I was talking to this girl in the cafeteria and I sneezed on her face. So she looked at me and I looked at her...
Hope that helps.
I do that all the time but not ones from a year ago. I usually remember the ones when I embarrass myself over my crush.
This is the worst thing ever. I start singing whenever memories like that come back to me. I so hate them.
But they'll stick. Get used to it :(
Find momentary distractions, it might help. :)
The worst part is when you remember every embarrassing moment when you try to forget something else. My line of thought usually goes like this:
That was embarrassing, I'll just try to forget it.
What else do I usually try to forget?
Must.. think.. of.. something.. else..
I wonder if I have enough cheese for the weekend.
AARRGGGHHH! I just remembered something I tried to forget two years ago.
And yes, your post just reminded me of a couple of them, sigh.
I'm surprised this got a 100% agreement. While this seems normal at first, your comment about it involving your sleep makes it cross the line into a problem. If this goes on longer than 3-6 months after incidents, it is no longer ok. At that point you are going to need some help. Either counseling or anxiety meds or both. No shame in any of that! You deserve to have peace in your life!
absolutely normal i have it too because the memory makes me cringe over and over and over.
