I told a friend of mine the other day that if he was wrong as often as I am wrong, it wouldn't bother him as much. ...being wrong that is. I'm use to putting my foot in my mouth.

Now, I'm happy I kept the money; the Lord does heal the mind, even though you never really forget. I'm a firm believer in "renewing your mind," as Paul wrote. It IS transforming me, ever so slowly, but it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, I would LOVE to forget some of the more painful memories. When they hit me, I physically double-over. It is a physiological reaction to the memory. It is actually painful to remember, more than being sad. I guess I can't express it adequately, but it's like being hit it in the gut with a baseball bat. On the other hand, with some of the experiences I have gone through with Jesus, I have been able to share His love, peace and comfort with others. And that is worth the pain many times.

Right on! I have learned something from EVERY one of my bad memories... even if the lesson was just to protect myself better in the future. (ex: I learned 1st hand why women shouldn't walk alone after night.) Also, I wonder what the long-term effects would be.... I already would forget my head if it weren't attached, I really don't need memory problems!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I can't express it adequately, but it's like being hit it in the gut with a baseball bat. Yes Vickilynn. I agree that it is difficult to put this pain into words but for the people who are happy to keep their bad memories, I don't think that they would say that if it meant being continually hit in the gut with a baseball bat. I think that until people have had a week, a month, a year or even longer of being continually hit in the gut with a baseball bat then it is impossible for them to say that they would still be happy to keep their bad memories! Marnie, I also believe in "renewing the mind". Unfortunately though, my mind is still caught in trauma mode. The amazing thing was when I saw the title of this thread, I actually was excited at the prospect of going back to my doctor with a name of a drug that could help me. It was just so disappointing to find that I was already on the drug and that it didn't do what the article claimed that it could do. A big thank you to everybody who has prayed for me.
