I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this.
Around the same time I'd been trying to get on HRT for months and been jerked around by a number of people in my life (including therapists who lied about their practice or kept me in the dark, and various other toxic people who were basically pushing me around because they saw I was weak), I began having memories of past lives. This was in late 2012.
I have since told both a therapist and a psychiatrist about it. My diagnosis stands as anxiety disorder NOS (with features of PTSD) and acute late-onset gender dysphoria and the past life thing seems to have fallen by the wayside as something they can't really put a finger on. All I know is psychosis and dissociative identity disorder are ruled out.
The thing that bothers me is this: all the lives I remembered were male, and most were people who either nearly made something of themselves then died at the height of their achievement, or who were unhappy men who died badly (the first life I remembered was actually a British WWI soldier). The only one of those lives I have entirely positive feelings about was way back in the Middle Ages; the rest are just loaded with regrets.
Has anyone else ever had this? Have you ever been told it was anything psychiatric, and what were you told? Have you integrated it as part of your spirituality? How would you feel if you remembered past lives and they were all male?
