What a great article and comments :) Since I was a kid I would "replay" events. In grade school I could (and would) recite the Star Wars movies on the playground. I was a freak.
At 35 I haven't lost it yet but for at least 50% of my life have been a HEAVY marijuana user because it helps dull this problem.
School was easy but dreaming is a nightmare. Again, drugs are the the only thing that helps. I hate having such vivid dreams and remembering all the awful details. I remember dreams from decades ago like I had them last night. It's horrible mostly, again, marijuana was a God send.
Killing my memory with drugs and alcohol isn't great but I've found it better than the alternative and often discuss with my therapist how jealous I am of people that waltz through life confidently forgetting all their screw up and mistakes.
- RealityVoid 6y agoI though your reply was very nice, that's why I'm telling you this. It seems pretty much all of your comments are marked as DEAD so I think you might have fell in some kind of spam filter. Probably because most of your replies are short? Regardless, you don't seem unhinged or a troll, looking through your history, so you deserve to know this.
- c22 6y agoI doubt gp is shadow banned because their comments are short. It looks like many of their comments are abusive. Anyway, the system is working as intended as worthwhile comments can be rescued by the community like this one has.
- cgriswald 6y agoHa! I don’t think you’re a freak. We used to recite Star Wars lines to each other as a challenge. The other person had to say the next line. We could also recite all three films from start to finish. I had to train myself to care less about my mistakes and also to let myself forget. I get that replaying in your head over and over. I still remember an embarrassing moment from the fifth grade, but perspective has taken the sting out of it.
