I'm so sorry. I have complex PTSD and one of my symptoms is ruminating on the past. It's hard to avoid it.

What helps me is reminding myself that I still have my future, and I do not have to suffer forever. Whenever I find myself ruminating on the past, I ask myself: "is it over?" " Can I let it go now? " "Will it help me or hurt me to think about it?"

if this is about someone hurting you, I see it this way: whoever hurt us has hurt themself because they damaged their soul and person. They're the type of person who would harm people, and we're not. I see that as winning.
