Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I can t stop thinking about some people I knew about 22 years ago. Those people did something bad to me and my mother. I rarely ever thought about them untill recently. In the last 6 months I cannot stop thinking about them. They don t live in my town. I never kept contact with them. One day 6 mos. ago they popt into my head and I cannot get them out of my mind. What is wrong with me?
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. There is nothing wrong with you. These are obsessive thoughts about your past. When you try to take these as serious problem and try to evade the thoughts, they repeat. The more you try to avoid them or try to escape from them, the more they disturb you. They come back again and again.
Instead, you need to simplify the wrong doing you are terming here as their way of reaction. Pardon those people from the bottom of your heart. Be in their shoes and justify their doing as natural one in their circumstances. (These are for your wellness. If you have any revenge mentality, it can be addressed later). Once you simplify these obsessive thoughts and once you never try to escape from them, they stops. Do try this easy method.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
