I hate that I have to keep talking about it. I hate the fact that I can't shut my mind down, that it keeps going.

Why can I not put this all behind me like I have done with past memories. WhY???

Real anwser, I'm not ready to give up the thoughts, but I am.
Once you realize where you are then you need a workable plan to follow. Therapy, where you are really committed to it, would need to be a part of this plan.

Stuffing down memories doesn't work. You need to work through them in therapy. This is the only way to put them behind you.

You can't give up the thoughts because you haven't worked on what is causing them.
