Should we forget bad memories?!
Question: If not, how do we overcome the despair that comes from never-ending bad experiences? Do we just live through the pain until we die?

no i dont think its a good idea to forget bad memories. they are bad for a reason and have a purpose to teach us and help us learn for the next time a similar situation may come along. i think bad memories are necessary for us to grow and become wise. forgetting that memory could cause the same situation to happen again and if it was somthing that is not preventable just consider it a life lesson.
I think you should acknoledge the point of the bad thing that happened, it's reason for doing so, without remembering the bad thing itself. The hurt can, in a way, kill you... it makes you worry forever. So, yes, you should; just not the entire thing.
You can't forget bad memories but you can learn to live with them and possibly even learn from them. There not nice and hard to work with . If it's really affecting you then you need to talk with someone that can help you get through them. Ask your doctor if you can't find the right person.
in time the bad memories won't seem as bad as we thought. in many ways that isn't true but in many ways it is. so much bad has happened that im just trying to turn them into good as i go along. as i look back im trying to figure why all this has happened but some of the things i say ..im kinda glad that happened becaus then i wouldn't be where i am today or who i am. the littlest things that happened im like why did that happen and the big things too. but if they didn't happen then i wouldn't know my best friend or i wouldn't know who i was or etc. im very depressed and everything but i did a lot of thinking and i think about things and im like maybe those happened for a reason..or in many cases i know it did. i can't really explain what i mean you just have to try and think of good even when theres bad. look at them as experiences..we all go through them its kind of a way we evolve..im not sure if evolve is the right word..maybe move on and grow up. i hope you get what i mean.its 230am im tired sorry for typos or anything..good luck!
We must not brood over them, hence the despair, my bad memories return at times, healthier thoughts are conjured up, dispelling the pain, we have to live through the dark of the past, to the hope of brightness in the future. Be brave.
Instead of forgetting you should let them empower you. We only truly learn from our mistakes.
