How do you cope when bad experiences still cross your mind

Ite hard, but you just have to understand its already happened, you can't change anything about it. Hugs. If you need to talk my inbox is opened.

Personally, I intellectualize them. I know that the emotional weight of those memories are hard to really unfeel and unremember, but I try to contextualize all experiences as part of a learning process towards betterment and towards understanding.

You don't grow as a person when you're comfortable. Trying to find a lesson or a meaning in those experiences can really help you to move forward and to internalize the idea that it will make you a better, or at least a more informed, person in the end

It's hard... I struggled for two years just to start forgetting. It's still there but I can do better at distracting myself with something constructive. I'm not functional in the least at the moment but I'm trying and definitely have progressed compared to day 1 that was 2 years back. Progress is still progress no matter how slow.

Tldr: time is the answer.

After living 64yrs, I have had many bad experiences. When they creep-up and rock my good world now.. I get mad, I fight them off.
There is NOT a thing I can about it.. what once happened.
I promised myself to never allow it to occur in my life again. It's all I got.

Realize I can’t change my past and do everything I can not to recreate my past. I blame myself for everything bad that happened in my past because I’m a real idiot.

Not very well.
Sometimes I make it worse by writing a song about it, then it’s a permanent reminder of a shit time.

Not much you can do but just get through it the best you can. You can’t stop memories. Hope you are ok 🤗

Ptsd doesn’t give you many options ... but you have to deal with it anyway .

Change is inevitable !
