Hey advice i have this thing where every know and again I'll think of something or look at something and it'll take me to a cringey/depressing/sad/etc. time in my life and I'll have to snap out of it or I'll start repeating it over orally to my self out loud. Any way to help this or cure it? Also btw it doesn't make it suicidal or anything I just have to tell myself to quit it.
That's called rumination lad.
Meditate until it goes away. It will teach you to live in the present moment instead of constantly replaying old events.

telling my self 'stop tihinking about that' out loud helps. then i put on a fun song, bon jovi usually.
also try some mindful / guided meditation for dealing with issues.

Some meditate, and some learn to forgive themselves. Next time that comes up in your mind repeat "I forgive you", the word "you" referring to yourself of course, until it fades away. Be sincere of course, and genuinely try to forgive yourself as you might forgive a friend. Treat yourself like a friend because you've got to be with yourself as long as you live so you could at least try to accept yourself.
A lot of it is about perspective. Hopefully this made sense.

I feel you anon.
I act like a crazy person. I call myself stupid and hit my head and tell myself to stop. (Usually where no one can see me.) I cringe. I used to hit myself harder or hit my knuckles on things to stop the feels.
If it's bad maybe try seeing a therapist/psychologist
this is happening because you aren't creating new memories. You aren't doing anything with your life. So you have to be more outgoing and create some new memories to overwrite the old ones.
oh yeah you could simply think u a list of all the good things that have happened in your life, all your victories, and simply think about them all the time, to make yourself feel better - positive thinking, you know?
