Hi everyone. I hope you are all well! I haven't been here long and even though my fingers are aching, I need to keep writing, I need to get this out. So thanks for reading!
I understand remembering the positive moments. But the negative ones seem to be just the thing keeping me lonely. I need to learn and unlearn and sometimes re-do the same processes over again in order to attempt to gain control over some unsavory emotional states. I've trained myself to forgive all those in my distant past and to forgive myself as well. In the process, it was time to let go of the memories I associated with depression, hurt, pain, suffering, that caused me to be depressed, creating the pattern that kept me there for so long.
I feel like I if I can come to terms with the rest of my past, learn to appreciate life a little more, and remind myself that being alone isn't all that bad...I hope i can finally live a life free of the feeling of loneliness. The only thing I'm missing is the sharing of information...that time when I can express myself as a human being, be what I am and enjoy it.
And all because of fear based on a memory. One I feel I need to erase in order to really move on. so...ok, I do need some of my past, but not all...
what are your techniques for overcoming the negative impact of negative memories?
