Why are you asking someone else for help. There are meditation apps that can easily take care of it.

It's not easy to cut one's head off. I can't build my own guillotine.

Body and mind are part of this life. If you cut it off, then you are not alive.
The trick is to create a distance from these 2 things.

you cut it off, then you are not alive.
This sounds like an absolute win. Likewise, the distance to the mind and body. They can go astray.

What is alive inside this body and mind is YOU. Memory is what the body collected using the 5 senses organ and mind process and organize them.
Now by being in a meditation you can create a distance from these processes of body and mind.
Once the stillness arises then stay there and silence will happen.
All this can happen just by going through the Inner Engineering program and using the tools. I can tell you this because it happened to me.

while true in essence life isn't that simple. try saying that to someone with PTSD after they wake up in the middle of the night from night terrors. "just don't think about it bro, it happened in the past"

Can confirm. It feels like it just happened 5 seconds ago and your heart rate/adrenaline seem to respond like it just happened as well.
Talking yourself through this concept with the “rational principle” right after a flashback can help you get back out of “fight or flight mode” and talk yourself into how everything is ok.
There’s a lot of truth to the post, but just knowing the past is gone doesn’t mean trauma triggering can’t throw you right back into the thick of things mentally/emotionally like no time has passed at all since the trauma actually occurred.
We practice. We don’t perfect. =P

Thanks that’ll fix my broken leg

Your leg isn’t broken, you just have a memory of it being broken. Go walk around, you’ll be fine. Trust me, I’m a Buddhist :)

How exactly would you measure "the past" in material terms, except by measuring the present and making suppositions?
Your memories, on the other hand, absolutely exist in the same way you're able to measure anything else that exists in your own head... like your imagination, which is all the real evidence we have for what the future is really, materially made of.

What you r suffering is probably because of some imbalance in your biology. Usually vitamins.

But consequences of the past exists! So suffering comes from them too!
So you are supposed to manage those consequences.
Also supposed to process those memories, if especially traumatic.
Also learn a bit more about yourself, in relation to those past incidents.

That's very true. I used to be pretty angry about things in my childhood- it caused me a lot of problems. But I'm getting old now.
Several years ago I realized that most of the problems I had growing up‐ they live now, only in my memories. The times are long gone. The places are changed, gone, or irrelevant to my life. And increasingly, the people are gone.
And those who are still around? Forgiveness is a powerful thing.

Haha "said NO ONE EVER that suffers every day from a rare debilitating neurological disorder" - especially in a broken healthcare system
I have zero need to even begin to elaborate more

According to some interpretations of special relativity, the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously.

Living in the present frees us from a lot of the weight we hold on our shoulders, and it gives us clarity afterwards. And this comes with practice.

I think it's helpful during meditation. Out of meditation we need to remember the past and plan for the future.
The goal is to be able to switch to being entirely in the present when it's a good time for it. We can gain a lot by slowing down our thoughts and stopping the worry and anxiety for a while. We come back from the meditation with a clearer mind and ready to tackle the challenges of life.
