are any of you stuck in the past?

do you tend to think about the past alot? if so, what do you think about?

Yes, a lot. I like to just remember things, good times in my childhood, funny moments, times when I was happy, and I remember those in great detail.
On the other hand, I often have to think about what went wrong in my past and relive all the embarrassment and loneliness I felt. That's not so great.

I have to admit i am stuck with the past this can be from past TV programmes including music as well.

Yeah, I get this feeling with certain things, like with music, TV shows; that thing.

Nope. It's the past. It's gone. The only thing that matters is today and what may come.

I wouldn't say that I'm "stuck" in the past, but I admit that I enjoy remembering certain things. Sometimes, when I find an old object, I get overwhelmed by memories related to it.

Example: recently I found an old notebook from the time I was in 8th grade (1999/2000). And suddenly a lot of things that I considered forgotten resurfaced.

I loved writing down my thoughts in random places in my notebooks - and now, after so many years, I love reading them. Some of them are pretty surprising - I can hardly recognize myself

Hey MrXxx, I am happy for you and wish I had more of those brain cells!

I got the renumerative type, and go over and over the confusing and painful parts of what has happened with people. But, I'm working on the problem...

Not me; I'm not a union member.

I don't think you really would if you knew the whole truth. It requires losing quite a few of them I think.

negative stuff

I tend to judge situations by experience of the past. For some reason, that bugs the crap out of my husband. For instance, I won't watch the comedian Ron White because he reminds me so much of my stepfather. Or if someone says something they mean innocently, and it used to be something my mom used to say to be mean, I will get upset. does that count?

I really am stuck in the past. I miss being 12 years old, when I had a best friend who made me a priority in her life and our whole lives revolved around anime. I also miss 2010, when my special interest in Johnny Depp movies was at its peak.

I tend to think a lot about my own mistakes, and situations that I could've handled better. I tend to be quite harsh on myself

I used to.

I am a pacifist, and NT children will pick on someone that will not fight back at all. The occasional times I did fight back stopped the people causing me grief, but also left me feeling less of a person.

I used to re-live the bullying and mistreatment and could not get over it, it was consuming me in a cloud of injustice.

On fathers day 2009, I suffered a near fatal concussion, that left me with a permanent non-detrimental brain damage.

I have amnesia, my perceptions have changed a lot, and I rely on trust. When I woke up, everyone looked like they were glowing with health, it was quite uplifting. However I didn't recognise people, everyone looked a little different, like looking at a very close twin (my own reflection included). People, still to this day, look different. There are a lot of other odd things, but they are for another time.

More relevant , I forgot a lot of things, and there are a lot more things that I don't know I've forgotten. One of the things that has gone is the feelings of injustice, I remember some of the bullies attacks, but they no longer bother me.

A bitter sweet turn of events.

Yes, my memories are very detailed and feel very 'fresh'.

Yes I think about the past a lot, even when its the last thing I want to think about...cursed PTSD, so yeah its not really good or neutral things I am thinking about in relation to the past when my mind is stuck there.
