My thoughts keep me trapped in the past

I find myself often living in the past. I ask myself “What if..?”, “I wish I had…”, “If only I had…” this keeps me trapped in the past and not aware of the present. Do you find yourself living in the past, going over old mistakes, or even reliving past traumas? If so, you are not alone. Please watch this video to find out more about my experience of this, and please share your experience (if you feel comfortable) as this will help others in the community.
Don’t forget to tell me how your week has been.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this - I hope to see you next time.
Please subscribe to my channel for more videos about mental illness and leave any questions or comments you may have in the space below.
Take care and I hope you have a safe, peaceful week.

The Little Blue Pot
Welcome to my KZbin channel where I’m hoping to educate people on the different types of mental disorders to provide an understanding and learn ways to cope. I also vlog about my own experience of living with mental illness, as well as sharing other aspects of my life. I want to raise awareness of mental illness and how to have better mental health, so I hope my channel helps you and others.
I am not a qualified mental health professional or expert, but I am an expert in living with mental illness. All my videos are based on lots of research and I do my best to explain everything as clearly as possible and provide examples from my life to help you understand. I might not get it right every time, but I do the best I can. I hope the findings from my research are of benefit to you.
This Vlog is from my perspective, but I do appreciate that not everyone will have had the same experience as myself - we are all different after all, even if we have the same diagnosis. I have also tried, where applicable, to reference everything correctly, but we are all human and make mistakes - please stick with me.

I’m so thankful to have found your channel. I have found no more resonate voice than yours to help me begin to understand my partner. Your candor is so helpful and meaningful, thank you my friend! (Continuing to binge watch old videos 😉) 🤟

So great to see you again! I’m still learning how to recognize my ruminations. I do it all the time! Hearing them called flashbacks was very helpful! They are flashbacks! I say I have an emotional memory because when I think about something traumatic from the past emotionally I am right back there, feeling the same emotions as if it just happened. I never really move on.

Feel for you dude, it's so bloody hard. Thinking of you and sending lots of hugs. Take care my friend x

I absolutely fall in love with you again and again when I see your videos. (the upside of BPD). I hope you are corona-free like me, and I promise not to vote for Trump from over here in Florida. I'm not even close to cured of BPD. Can't afford counseling.
