Discussion Anyone else wish they could just forget?

I mean u know, forget like everything or almost everything at least, I wish there was a drug for it. I guess I have good memories, but the thing is I don't find comfort in them, not anymore. All the ppl who meant a lot to me have left, mby for good reasons idk, and I have good, fond memories of them, but all they do is bring me pain, bcs what once was is no more and nobody's coming back. Idk, mby I'm just too sensible and that's just how those things go, but what's the point, I don't get it rlly.
Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in memories, like they're the only thing left, I'd prefer to erase them, well prob not all but most of them.
Anyone else feel similar?

Yes. Although I have serious Rumination OCD so part of the "routine" is being stuck in my own head about things of that sort.
But also, personally, I interpret a lot of the worst of things as a direct punishment and not remembering would mean the "lesson" is lost.

For awhile I was partial to spiritual reincarnation. Are you posing this as wanting a do-over/fresh start, or wanting to be rid of burden of it all.
