It’s been more than once now but whenever my girlfriend brings up the past about anything it just makes me upset for some reason I can’t explain lol. I’m always deleting old posts and stuff like that because seeing or hearing about my past self just makes me very very angry. 
I’ve tried to talk it through with her and explain it but I just can’t seem to find the words. Does anyone else experience similar issues? I like… throw away family photos, old high school notebooks, all that stuff.

Its very normal for every traumatic experience I find. Lots of people have troubles with their past, me too… Try to think about the present now and the future, you are not alone on this 
. Me, I still sometimes hate all about my past but I guess there were good things in it whatever I can say sometimes…

I understand the feeling.
Facebook has a function where it tells you what you posted 5 years ago, and such. I cringe everytime I see my old posts. I was unmedicated and often made a fool out of myself, or thought I was being edgy by posting obscure references and then getting frustrated when nobody got them.
I don’t want to be reminded of who I used to be, because that’s not how I am now.
I don’t think it’s healthy to run from your past, but I do think it’s okay to want to have some distance from it.

I hate my past self, too. I had control issues and was extremely bitter before I got on meds.
