Is this unusual?

[Nevermore]

So, I've found it difficult for myself to get over passed things. Passed incidences still haunt me. I still cry over things that happened a few years ago. Yes, they were traumatic, but they a few years ago. Is it possible I'll ever get over the past? I really want to move on with my life. I'm sick of living in fear, and I'm sick of it continuing to ruin my life.

no, its not weird if shit from the past still hurts.

it is possible, but you cant expect it to th at quickly, and not w/o help

sometimes talking helps. sometimes, if it doesn't make you more scared

[Fact]

Well you can't get rid of your past, it's going to be there forever.
What you can try and do is space yourself from it, remind you that it is your past. You can't change it no matter how much you wish you could.

It's difficult to do, but just keep it in mind.

[Fiction]

it is perfectly normal, I still cry about things that happened years ago too.

[Tristin.]

i still cry over past things, were are but human. you can get over it sometimes, but if you cant just put it to the back of your mind if you want to get rid of it, also times heals :)

i don't know your situation but writing always helped me. When my brother died i kept a journal and wrote him a letter a day for the longest time. It gave me somebody to talk to and got my feelings out so that i could cope. If somebody hurt you write them a letter in a journal telling them how they made you feel, or when ever you get these flashbacks write about it if you cant talk to somebody. Art is another way, or poems. You have to have some kind of outlet to get better, and then you might still have bad days but maybe they won't seem to engulf your life.. I hope this helps any.. take care
