Move on...make yourself busy with anything that won't keep you idle. Likewise, always go to bed at night dead tired so you won't ever have the time to reminisce about your past. If this become your daily routine or habit, sooner or later you will just find yourself smiling at your past and savor the good things that happened and forget about the bad things in it. This I did and it worked out so well with me. Hope it will with you too.

Hmm, Do you really want to FORGET IT? Because, thats pretty much impossible. Its not about forgetting it anyway. Its moving on from it. You have to realize that whatever happend HAPPENED, and there is nothing you can do about it. Now its over, the pain might still be there. But it will go away eventually. People arent all the same, and not everyone is going to hurt you or make you feel the way you did before. Take the entire experience and look at it in a way you havent yet. Then try to see what you can learn from it. Is there a pattern that you know now to avoid? Is there something about YOU that could have affected this outcome? If you need help, see a counselor/therapist etc. They can help you through it. And please, for the sake of everyone in the world, dont take it out on other people that have nothing to do with the situation. I hope this helps.

As the old cliche goes, there's no use crying over spilled milk...Just forget the past and focus on your work or schooling. I've been there once and i know that it's ok to cry over it but don't over do it. If there's anything or anyone that reminds you of that not so pleasant experience, just try to avoid them. Keep yourself busy. I know it's hard, but it's still a matter of choice, if you're really determined to forget about the past you'll do evrything to forget it. hang out with people who'll give you encouragement and moral support. And if in case it's a love affair that has just turned sour, dont jump into a relationship just to get over your past you'll just make matters worst. Don't dwell on your not-so good-experience so long.. Go out and smell the roses..:=) Life's to short!!

Tell me honestly do you have any control NOW to modify,change alter or to correct anything that has happened in the past ? In this journey of life we come across many stations which we do not meet again. Since you can do nothing to alter the past,stop brooding over it and start a new life where the past has no place and you concentrate only on the PRESENT.

I still haven't been able to figure that one out and I agree with army wife, me not being able to let go of the past has caused me a lot of problems. All I do is take it one day at a time. I think that is the only thing that works.

You have to do the things you did before THAT happened. Whatever it was. Whether it be hanging out with your friends again, playing that sport you've been putting off. Going to places you say you've been wanting to go. Do things that you'd always wanted to try and things you always like to do. Doing things out of the ordinary sets your mind to expand itself for new experiences. Once you learn to accept what is around you and live with the moments ahead of you, you'll learn to appreciate the future a little more than you did before because of your past.
Good luck with nostalgia. I live with it...and I know how hard it is to let go of things.

I don't think you can right off. This is one of those things that takes a LOT of time....which isn't what you probably want to hear. If it's a broken relationship take care of yourself - treat yourself well, surround yourself with people that lift you up. Lean on them when you're down.
If it's painful events in your past, you might want to sit down and talk to someone about it. Somethings need to be worked through to fully get them out of you.

There is a thousand different ways, going to a library, try a new Hobie, get another job, etc., all the way to see a professional, but the most important one is that it has to come from within you, it is very hard, but you really had to push yourself to do it, also try to go to church once in a while, it would not hurt, i guarantee you, you feel better after that. Good luck my friend.

You should work on that grammar and spelling, brother.
My pastor told me that the past is like an old, dead dog. Get forgiveness from God, forgive yourself, then bury it. It is in the past, it is over. Don't ever go dig it up, and drag it back up on the porch, because it's gonna stink. Leave it buried, and move on. Hope this helped. God bless.
