"HOW CAN I STOP THESE THOUGHTS?"
I had a traumatic
embarrassing event several years ago, when a so-called
friend revealed, amongst other friends within my
earshot, a very embarrassing episode in my life. I
pretended not to have heard the remark and left the
group.
The problem is that
the experience has opened up a Pandora's Box of other
guilt-ridden and shameful events in my life, which
replay over and over in my mind and the original remark
made by this person has become a far larger issue for
me. I regret not saying anything at the time, but my
embarrassment was so overwhelming, I just needed to
escape.
I don't know what
to do to rid myself of these memories, life just seems
an endless replaying of all my mistakes. I am in my
fifties so you would think I could just forget these
memories and get on with my life.
