Not letting things go

Post Reply New Topic

I can't let things go and go over and over them in my head.

I carry grudges.

I can't forgive people.

My OH gets tired of hearing me go on about the same things....

I get most upset when someone does the wrong thing.

I have a heck of a time letting things go. Some events from ears in the past still hurt me. I am also a terrible grudge holder. Once a person breaks my trust, I'll never trust him/her again. I've considered going to the doctor for SSRIs before, but I'm not a fan of taking hormone pills. I tried birth control once, and it was awful. It made me feel edgy and irritated a lot. I'm afraid of what would happen if I took SSRIs. I've realized that exercise helps calm a lot of my angers and worries. If I didn't run 4 to 5 times a week, I'm sure that I would have very nasty depression.

Tricky....
I suppose that as far as letting things go I am "average"
By that I mean that it depeds on what it is that I am trying to let go of.

ditto. Luckily I' ve been wrong enough to keep an open mind, but you better prove it.

Social media makes it difficult to let go of things especially crushes and exes. After blocking them for so long then unblocking them I've realised that blocking gives you no real peace. While we enjoy and like the idea of privacy, we have to now accept that in this online world it just doesn't exist. You can't find peace by avoiding life as Virginia Wolfe said. Every time someone follows or reblog a or like something I've posted on tumblr I think that's really nice. Better to collect crumbs of positivity than shards of past negativity.

I'm not medicated (yet?) but I've seen people on here talk about how autists can be way more sensitive to medication. The recommendation is that you tell your doctor to start with a much lower dose than normal, like 20-25%, and then move up from there if needed.

Ye i'm the same

I worry about everything and if someone does me wrong i will always remember it

Thanks for the mental picture of a dog with a bone I had to look up the meaning of the idiom because I failed to comprehend what you meant by it lol but yes that would describe me perfectly, sometimes it takes me years, if ever, to move past something.

Its actually a good point. There are events that happen in life that I have had trouble letting go of. It has been this way since I was a child.
