It's too hard to not think about it when I see things on television or in movies about certain situations that I have been in. So how do you move on with a positive out look on such a painful past? Any suggestions and advice would be strongly appreciated.

The best thing to do is to make new joyful memories. Oh yes it is possible! Turn that minus into a plus in your life. Look back on that memory and say thank God I made it through and brush that dirt off your shoulder and move on!

No one ever truly forgets unless they have amnesia. You will always have reminders around you at some point in time. What I think you have to do is concentrate on all of the good things about you and around you right now. Live in the moment. Strive everyday to be a good person and not let whatever painful event happened to you happen again either to yourself or anyone close to you. In the end you will realize that some of the good aspects about you are because of what happened and you have to take the positive from anything that happens.

When I see or hear things that remind me of the bad I've been through I try to tell myself that that is the past and be thankful that I'm not in that situation any more.The bad is there to remind us of the way things were and inspire us to make better of what we have. Hope this helps.

you can't really forget about it. Just try to be optimistic about everything that goes on in your life. Try watching movies like Cinderella or Bambi. Those movies had happy endings. Go to church and pray your little heart out

I really do understand!! But, you'll need to dumb that bad crap and fill those holes with good stuff! Carrying that around is like carrying a bag full of heavy rocks, with you thru life!! Get rid of them and ENJOY the rest of your life!! good luck

you can try thinking about the goodness in your past as well instead of just the painful things

move on and try and create joyful memories, brooding and obssessing on your painful memories will only create a bitter unhappy person...
