I surely hope you haven't thought I said "it's past get over it"... because it wasn't my point.

I have to move on from what memories I hold in my mind... embracing the facts that the mind doesn't recall anything totally accurately...knowing that especially things that occur when young, and events of high stress, these are not recorded accurately in the mind at all to begin with, and deteriorate with age. The way I trudge them up and reflect adds to their impact, negatively or positively. I have made a conscious effort to tell myself that all that stuff is not reality for the here and now, and exist really only in my memories. I choose to move on in spite of them.

It's tough when you feel stuck.

I think people here are offering ideas in hopes that one of them will help you find your own solution, not insisting that use something that worked for me or them.

If you've read in the forums I suggested, then you must have realized that I believe in a personal God and a personal relationship with God. Until I made that move, I had a void in my life that I "knew" should be filled with "God" yet when I went to church or read my Bible, I did not find the Source. It took someone else pointing me in the direction of a personal relationship that allowed that void to be filled. I think only God can fill it. Nothing else will satisfy. Each element has it's own puzzle slot and nothing else fits in it, and that's how I guess you could see God (higher power) is too?

I continue to pray that you will find this Peace you seek.
