Really struggling to overcome painful memories of when I was hurt by old "friends"?

Hey guys

I hope all is well.

I am a 26 year old guy who is really finding it hard to get past haunting memories of when I was badly treated by old friends at school for many years.

Even though I have grown up now and am aware of the world's cruelties any time I remember being made fun of or being ridiculed it makes me crumble inside and feel alone.

Is there a way to overcome these issues without medication as I get terrible side effects and am already diabetic and taking blood thinners?

Thanks for your advice.
