Does time really heal all wounds?

[exitseven]

Do you have something that happened in your life that still hurts no matter how much time goes by?

What a bummer.

I happened to be driving around last week and went by a restaurant where I was dumped by a girl I really loved. It was a total surprise and it really devastated me for a long time. I had not been by there in many years and I just parked across the street and looked at the place for a while. It felt just like it did 30 years ago.

Time doesn't actually "heal" all wounds, but the memories move further and further from your everyday consciousness. And, even when you think about the incident, the pain becomes less acute, at least in some cases.

I remember how I felt after breaking up with one particular girlfriend. It felt like my guts had been kicked out. The feeling made me breathless and almost nauseous at times. When alone, I would sometimes be overwhelmed, double over and literally bawl. It's the greatest emotional pain I have ever felt. It took almost a year for me to get myself together and move on with life.
I still think about that girl all the time. But that pain is gone. I love and miss her with all my heart, and feel the deepest gratitude for having had the good fortune of being loved by her. Our time together was a peak experience.

Certain trauma like rape, abuse, or terror, however, effects the psyche and changes a person. Therapy can help a person to deal with it, but it can't change a person back to the way they were before.

I don't believe time heals ALL wounds. You will always have what happened to you in your memory. Sometimes when you least expect it, even as time passes, that thought will rear it's ugly head and make you remember it. Time does heal some wounds though, but if you are a very sentimental person, such as myself, it takes a lot longer to heal.
Sometimes a certain smell can trigger what happened to you. So, to me, it varies.

[douride2]

No time doesn't heal all wounds. I will still cross the street to avoid someone who wronged me when I was 14.

Sometimes the world is a crappy place.

[douride2]

Thanks for a MHO.

[jazque]

I wouldn't say "heals" but time makes wounds hurt less. Will always have the scars though.
When i lost both parents by time i was 31 i was lost just messed right up. After a few years i could smile at memories instead of breaking down.
Time heals the intensity of hurt... but not tge wound

[Flower7]

Nope, that’s just a saying. Time doesn’t even heal all physical wounds, much less mental ones.

[NamerOfStars]

Manifestly, no.

[exitseven]

hahahhaaha. I like it.

[whereismyjohnny]

No, well at least not all wounds. I think time only teaches us how to cope with these wounds and make it hurt less.

[Cynicaldreamer]

I really hate that saying because NO, time does not heal all wounds!

You just... heal a little each day, and, with time, you learn to move on with your life. People that spited or hurt me years ago: I STILL hate and avoid them like the plague! And that won't change, no matter how much time passes.

[Bratsondanielle]

Wounds after biden will take a long time to heal

[AviatorTom]

Yes, I had a few breakups that still hurt when I think about them.. fortunately I don't think about them often, but sometimes they appear by accident, say on a friend's post on Facebook that happens to mention them.

[AviatorTom]

Re: your update. I know the feeling.

[bubblegunnn]

Hm not always, depends on how deep the wounds is and i agreed of someone's opinion here said all wounds will leave scars..
For me, if i just depend on time to heal my wounds, its kinds hard unless i have something or someone to distract it. Thats why i better looking for someone new to move on and tryna focus with this new guy and focus with my life too.

[Blackcosmo]

No it doesn't. It may ease them because they won't feel so raw but they're still there.

[Aerissa_Jade]

No it does not, it only heals minor wounds, not major stuff.

I still suffer daily, nightly, constantly from my attack. I still wake up in a panic attack almost nightly.

[Jamie05rhs]

😟😨 [hug!!]

[exitseven]

@aerissa_jade Sorry for this.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Thanks both of you.

I guess it depends what you think that means.

I think it means that it doesn't matter how bad the pain you are feeling is one day you won't feel that way, infact one day you won't even think about it anymore, though that may seem impossible right now.

[Sparkie460]

No I don't think it does. You will always remember the things that happened unless you get dementia.

[JakeS00]

I think so. From the relationship, I was in 5 years ago. I can say I'm better and healed. It took a few years, but 5 years to be fully healed.

[StevieNix]

I read that mother nature gives us shitty memories for a reason. Sometimes it feels like a curse, but it's really a blessing in disguise. If you haven't already, get yourself a new girl. The last one will fade away.

[Ryle96]

Not necessarily but I lost my parents. That’s something I’ll never get over. I’m traumatized for life. 🥺 I have my days but it doesn’t get easier but some days aren’t bad.

[bean2k21]

Time, that 4th dimensional block in the universe, helps us appreciate the fabric of reality, a deeper structure out which emerges perhaps like the Siamese twin of space.

[Tiptoetamm]

Yes I do. It's something a rarely talk about

[panamared1]

And wounds all heels

[exitseven]

I still have a couple of festering wounds that never healed.

[WhitneySnow]

Yeah maybe

Wow. That really sucks. I hope you avoid driving by that restaurant from now on.

[rienna888]

Well you will get over a boyfriend/girlfriend for sure. But trauma from people being mean to you, bullying, you may feel better but it'll be stuck with you forever.

[Rockstarrrrr]

...

[Od94j66n]

Um i dont respect you. Stop sending me questions

[Od94j66n]

I dont respect you. Stop tlaking at me.

[Pudsmucker]

It does. If you lost somebody it takes a very long time. I was hurt by somebody back in the seventies but I still feel the pain at times.

[Juxtapose]

Time literally kills us. I guess you could say that puts an end to everything.

[Keepitreal007]

It can help cope and move in in life but the hurt can always be there.

[Mgtow1990]

No because my wounds are still wide open after 8 years

[Mgtow1990]

I am still bitter and have tried my best to move past it and on but nope won't leave my body ounce so ever

[Cubus]

Some, but not all.

[mistixs]

all wounds will leave a scar

[peedy]

Time makes us older and with age comes memory loss

[sythe_crimsonstar]

Yea it really does

[Andres77]

That or memory loss.

[Iron_Man]

Not death

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I believe so, but the scar will stay til you die.

[Fuentes]

I think it depends on the person

[msc545]

Not all.

[EaterPeter]

It does
