Struggling to get over an ex? A psychologist shares her advice.

I’ve never really considered deleting these conversations because archiving always seemed to be the most practical solution. It feels good to have the power to refer back to them whenever I want – if only to prove to myself how much of a dick that person was.Of course, it can be hard when it comes to, say, past relationships.

In 2017, the iPhone turned 10. That’s a potential 12 years of stored memories, an indestructible trail of pictures, videos, messages, notes and emails. Who among us isn’t weighed-down by so many photos of holidays and videos from drunken nights out that we’re constantly getting the dreaded ‘memory full’ notification?

But far from being useful, our modern quest to document and remember everything may have some seriously adverse side effects. From an emotional and mental health standpoint, constantly remembering and re-remembering is not a good way to process and learn from past events. In fact if, like me, you’re prone to bouts of nostalgia, scrolling through an old Facebook album is both as satisfying and damaging as picking off a healing scab.
