I cannot get over someone saying something mean to me TWO MONTHS AGO

4 Replies

Okay, so I don't know if this is an anxiety thing or what. Ruminating and whatnot. Ugh I just can't stop thinking about the mean things my old friend said to me a few months ago! I think about it almost every day. I don't know how to get over it or get closure. I've always been a bit of a diabolical person so there's a part of me that wants to get them back. However, I also think of myself as a very nice, level-headed person (excluding the severe anxiety) so I know that's bad lol. I just think about it so often and I get an adrenaline rush and anxiety and more stress going over and over the things they said to me. Can you die from anger? It feels very similar to a panic attack. I feel like until something is resolved I will never stop thinking about it. But this is not the type of person you could resolve something with.

I am the same way, and I wish I knew the answer to getting over it. Someone hurt me very badly with what they said and did 3 years ago, and I still obsess about it daily. This person is also not someone that will just discuss it for closure. With time it is getting better for me, but I’m not sure it will ever be gone since the person is part of my family. However, I would love a resolution so my mind could move on and my anxiety would go away!

People who call other people are reacting from what is going on in them not you, ie anger, fear, and the need to judge, all negative reactions, I would pity them for being so shallow and ignorant ! x

Sorry you have been hurt. I understand when you can't get a painful experience out of your head, especially when there is no reconciliation. Getting negative thoughts out of our minds is HARD! The root of my obsessing about situations like you are describing is my own unforgiveness. Forgiving someone does not mean "forgetting" or "ignoring" but choosing to move on without retaliating. Forgiving sets us FREE. You might want to check out this book which explains forgiveness a little better. bit.ly/35NHphM Hope this helps. Again, so sorry!
