Bad experiences, memories, and past mistakes from 10+ years ago flooding my mind for no reason

Is this normal? Lately, my mind seems to have dug up every bad thing that has happened in my life as well as every mistake I have made from many years ago. I keep cringing and wishing these thoughts would go away. Of course, it's right as my confidence was budding. 🙄 WTF???

I am the same way--mistakes form 30 years ago still show up. I think it is because my father was so hard on me. Never said anything good, always critical...I have found starting every day with positive mantras about myself really works...try that--pick a few wonderful things about yourself and repeat them every day, along with gratitude for everything you have in life...and please met me know if it works!
