High school was an unmitigated disaster for me (the first of many to come.) I'm 71 years old now. And I still cringe at some of what I experienced. I don't know if there is a way to finally resolve these kinds of memories. Here are links to 4 articles, from PC's archives, that talk about how to cope with obsessive, intrusive, or just plain stuck thoughts. Hopefully something in them can be of help:

Coping with Obsessive Thoughts

How You Can Overcome Intrusive Thoughts | Dialectical Behavior Therapy Understood

5 Ways to Free Yourself From Dark and Obsessive Thoughts

9 Ways to Let Go of Stuck Thoughts
