Sometimes stuff doesn't heal. We move on, but we don't ever come to grips with what happened so it keeps resurfacing over and over and over.

The more you try to forget or let go the more it clings on! It can feel almost impossible to stop the conscious mind replaying thoughts like a broken record. But what I find is that as a short term relief sleep works well. Especially in those first moments when I wake its almost like the thoughts never happened, until they creep back to the front of my mind.

We aren't deliberately toxic, we are OCD. Those of us who are obsessively compulsive can latch onto something and beat it beyond death. I have spent a lot of time learning ways to deal with it, but occasionally I still feel so guilty about things I did to others or stupid actions I took 30+ years ago. I guarantee you that no one else remembers these things at all.

Maybe because they have a strong sense of justice and no practical recourse for countering what they perceive as injustices. So the only thing they feel they can do is to swallow it. Then it just festers and embitters them for a long time, until it either dissolves away over time or is otherwise purged.

When people harp and dwell on things, which I must say, I am guilty of doing myself. Usually they haven't fully accepted the outcome of the situation, so they find it very hard to move on from it.
