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???

Sometimes the past keeps coming back to haunt you, no matter how much you want to put it behind you.

It's like wanting a wound to heal, but there's always someone or something that's reopening the wound just when it's so close to healing.
