Is this normal?
I've always had flashbacks. When it's quiet and I'm thinking or if I'm just not doing anything memories of embarrassing moments come up and they don't relate to anything. The oldest one I can recall is from fifth grade. To make things even more unusual the only way I can surpress the memories is by pinching or biting myself, then it usually gets out of my head. Is any of this normal? Memories, biting, pinching..etc. I would like to stop doing this because it's really caused a lot more depression than anything else in my life but I'm not sure where to start. Help would be appreciated.

well like my uncle once told me just start working out and when your down physically your mind dont quite work as well because your so tired all you want to do is just sleep if you cant find anything to do then go jogging or start writing down what you remember on papper then when you are home and just have nuthing to do take that papper then laugh as much as possible on how funny it is if it was someone else then set it on fire and say "yea that was good"

Every single person I know has flashbacks of their past lives. I am just as guilty as you are because when I think of some things that went on in my past I am highly embarrassed or upset. I don't hurt myself physically (I have enough pain as it is) but mentally it can be torture.
The best way I have found in dealing with this is to relive these embarrassing moments and mentally put them in pretend boxes on an imaginative shelf and "tidy" them away. If I choose to look back on them I can "open" the boxes, and if I accidently "open" a box I can quickly close it again. This may or may not work for you, but it can't hurt to try.
However, you must remember that every single experience in your life has made you the person you are today. Always learn from everything you do and you won't go far wrong.
I hope that I have helped with my suggestions. All the best.
