Whats the best way to forget painful memories and a person who hurt me?

Forgetting might not be the best thing to do, because it might be impossible. I know however how it feels, I want to forget some really painful memories, but cannot. So instead, what I find most helpful is to allow myself to feel whatever I am feeling about the situation! I allow myself to cry, be angry, and be hurt, I really get in touch with my emotions so I can understand why I am feeling the way I am and let go some pent up emotions. I feel this for a while, helps me "forget" the painful memories, by simply processing my own feelings.

Navigating through the remnants of past hurt can be akin to untangling a complex web of emotions. When memories linger and the shadows of past relationships seem persistent, its like you're carrying pieces of a puzzle that doesn't quite fit together yet. Each person's journey through this labyrinth of feelings is uniquely their own. Rather than seeking a single clear path, it might help to view this process as a mosaic - each fragment of emotion, no matter how painful, contributes to the overall picture of your recovery. This mosaic isn't just about moving on, but about integrating your experiences into a new narrative that is uniquely yours

The best way to forget painful memories for me is to re-write them with new and better memories, use new memories to forge a better path.

You better focus on some other stuff. when you are being busy with other stuff such as hanging around with good friends, involving with charity programs..etc : you can easily forget about the person who hurt you. Try to avoid all the possibilities which make you to meet that person. Try to delete all the contacts of that person and block them. I know first few days it will be so hard to forget about the person. But gradually you will be able to forget that person. You will be used to live without them

tratar de no tener en cuenta.. a esa persona.. saliendo , conociendo personas nuevas, haciendo deporte.. salir con amigas

Talk about your pain with someone and you will be healed by time. Trust the process, have patience with you. Start loving yourself more, be kind with you like you would act with a child. You don't have to punish yourself. Let time heal you and start finding new hobbies, read books, paint your grief, dance your grief, run. Try to make a daily routine, to wake up at 8 am and then plan the day. Routine will help you. I'm sure you can do it, if you looked for help it means you want to heal so you can save yourself. Take care of you! Hugs!

I think it’s almost impossible to forget painful memories or a person. These memories cannot be erased from your brain but you can definitely move on with time and learn to accept it. It takes time but it is possible . I think the first step is to channel your energy into other things and activities. Secondly, you should give yourself some time and space to heal. Also, if you have some painful memories of your past then you should always try to make new memories. Try to live in the present. You could also use those emotions to be a better person. Treat others like you wanna be treated. Help someone who is going through the same thing.
