I can't forget the traumatic event that happened 2 years ago. I have a very high iq and strong memory, so that makes me unable to forget things. Im trying to take my mind off that, but it crosses my mind everytime. I just want to go on with my life, but i can't

I suggest spending a lot of time with a special interest to create new memories to force out the old ones.

I hope you will look into therapeutic options if that's something you think you might benefit from, Highly_Autistic.

There are a lot of options these days!

I found EMDR / somatic reprocessing helpful.

But different things help different people.

I hope you will find what helps you.

All the best.
