Your Type
At 3 AM when you can't sleep, your brain has already started auto-playing that event from a year ago. This "uncontrollable scene replay and self-torment" is actually your subconscious deep regret and unwillingness over "failing to handle the past perfectly"; you fear that if you stop thinking about it, you're admitting to that imperfect outcome, so you try to rewrite the script countless times in your head, delusionally trying to reclaim lost control. But the past has happened; repeatedly replaying it won't change the ending, it will only consume your present. Try saying "I did my best back then" to yourself when memories surge; when you learn to forgive your past self, you can truly give time back to the present.
