I feel like I'm going slowly insane. It's so annoying, like the single vulture killing probes when you have two control groups of goons outside your base and you don't want to move all of it just to kill the damn thing. It's also like some insinious bug, in the form of a memory. God, someone post some suggestions. My hope now is that it'll slowly go away and fade from me.


nice analogy ^_^

Eat 24 carrots then do 3 jumping jacks. Then sign your soul over to me, and all will be merry.

I have the opposite problem.. I have really bad memory... Like I have no clue what I did last wednesday. When I talk to people on icq or msn I sometimes (quite often) repeat what I said the last time I saw them... I could be hours or a day but it's really annoying..
Well good luck and do something that keeps ypur mind occupied for a long while and you wil lslowly stop thinking of it..

Keep yourself busy. Just start doing things consistantly. By keeping yourself occupied with other things, a trivial matter will start to seem less and less important to you, and eventually you'll forget.

It's worked for me... Actually, it helped me get this girl I really liked out of my head.

Every time you think about a memory you strengthen how well you remember it.

The solution is to occupy yourself with other things in life. Don't consciously try to forget it, because you're only thinking about it when you do that. Over time you'll think about it less and less until it's virtually forgotten.

The only way to "purge" a memory is to suffer some kind of brain damage. Over time it will naturally "fade away" unless you keep thinking about it, and this is the only way that you can forget something once it has been encoded into your long term memory. Hypnosis MIGHT work, but I don't know and would rather not waste my money on it.

Stimey's advice:

1. Denial
2. Alcohol

rooooooofl.

What happened anyway, Refrain?

My advice is to tell us all what happened so that we can tell you how ridiculous you are. Then you will have a team of people behind you that all agree that it was no big deal and you don't have to feel all alone and desperate and sad.

Here's a recent experience of mine that might make you feel better:

I'm holding my cat G, and I want to leave so I go to put G into my sister's arms, but G doesn't want to so he starts clawing onto me, and my arm starts pressing into my sister's tits and I don't realize that it's pressing into her tits until it's been pressing against her for like 5 whole seconds.

You think that'd be awkward enough, but she finally gets G away from me and goes to put G on a sofa, so she's turned around... I shake my arm to like let her know "I didn't want my arm against your tits" then I let my arm fall as I'm stepping toward her, my hand ricochets off my stepping thigh and hits her right in the butt.

I go "geez, sorry" and she kinda laughs and walks toward her room and I go "I didn't actually mean to do that, my hand fell and hit my... .. never-miiind" (because my explanation wouldn't make any sense anyway) and she closes her door and I go to bed

So now my sister thinks I'm some kind of creepy incestuous pervert, and I have to live with that for like a week before she realizes it was just a series of really strange accidents that fell together to make me look like I was hot for my sister (which couldn't be further from the truth, the thought of that raises the bile to the back of my throat)

Deal and move on. (And tell us what happened because we are dying to know.) :\

Oh yeah, it was probably his mom catching him in mid-masturbation. That's a really common eat-away-at-mind thing.

I want to forget something.

This something happened a few days ago, and has been constantly nagging and bothering me, when I'm eating/sleeping/silent in thought I suddenly remember it and become slightly depressed/upset. This is a personal, but really minor thing (not like my mom died, of course i won't forget that), that I don't think should really bother me. It's really annoying, it disturbs me so much. I tried a few things, like mentally dealing with it and telling myself IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL (and it really isn't), but the cruel paradox is, whenever I try to forget it, I have to first recall it. I tried distracting myself, like thinking of other things, doing other things, but it's fucking relentless.

I feel like I'm going slowly insane. It's so annoying, like the single vulture killing probes when you have two control groups of goons outside your base and you don't want to move all of it just to kill the damn thing.

i think its a bigger issue than you think it is, unless you sit down, analyze and attempt to defuse your problem it will continue to nag you.

if its something that has happened, an event that you dissaprove of, then just settle your emotions with it.

if this doesnt work time will eventually set you free of it. the best thing to know for you right now is that you wont be like that forever

supressing memories really isnt a good thing. They never go away, you just stop thinking about them. They lay dormant in your subconcious and manifest themselves in ways you never realised. Next thing youre doing gay porn, cheating on your wife, abusing your kids, and cant understand why.


psychoanalysis hasnt been proven scientifically =( sorry.


wtf is this suppose to mean? are u stupid? or showing off what you've read in a ghetto psychology book that some lunatic wrote?

i've got a question for you, has it been proven to not work? its called scientific theory, alot of what einsteins discoveries are.

it makes logical sense that suppressed memory will manifest itself eventually.

most everyday adult problems are manifestations of childhood trauma. the connections are too clear and too blatantly obvious for you to discard it with some stupid 'fact' you've read.

lets say your sick father sucks ur penis when ur 2 up until your 5. now even a kid is aroused by this, and to basically be taught that getting ur dick sucked by a man is normal, and at that point you find it enjoyable, there is a very high possibilitie that you just may turn out to be a fag. if not that a bi. if not that atleast enjoy watching gay porn where a man is sucking off another man. why? cause it made ur little wee wee feel good as a kid when ur pops did it to you.

i think its best if you confront your problem, never suppress it. if you fall accustomed to suppressing your memory you will eventually have no idea your doing it, and instead of conciously understanding that your suppressing a memory instead you will just get a boner when u see fags.

probably the best thing you could do now that its hit me is try and transform your emotions for the thought. thought priority is all about emotion. if you associate positive emotions with your memory you may be able to balance it to the extent where it really is nothing more than remembering where ur bathroom is. try being optimistic and i guess it would be alot easier if all of us knew ur problem mang.
