When I play this game, I have bad memories of the past. (bad memories, shameful memories, etc...)Suddenly, memories and emotions come to mind. 
And I hit the desk with my hands and scream.:(
Am I the only one experiencing this?
Is there a way to solve it?

a disclaimer: i don't believe the impact dual n-back (DNB) might have on someone's mental health is currently known. therefore, any answers to this question are speculative.

sorry you've been going through that, it sounds rough. i've never heard of anyone describe an experience like this as a result of DNB. i am not a mental health professional, but i suspect that this is more related to your specific situation rather than DNB. if i were you, i would do some introspection (and maybe even therapy?) to try and figure out why those memories are affecting me so much. if you notice this keeps happening when you do DNB, perhaps you should take a break from the game and try to figure out what's going on. 

best of luck.

When I focus, bad memories come to mind.  It's the same when I study.  I knew this game since I was young, but I couldn't continue with this symptom even then. this game has a good effect, but past memories that continue to come to mind are disturbed.

I'm using a translator. I'm sorry if my message sounds rough.

it's alright, i understand what you're saying. since you also experience this when you study, i feel like whatever is going on here is not directly related to dual n-back. i think you should consider investigating why those memories bother you so much, it might be worth seeing a mental health professional.

Perhaps the game executes some kind of trigger for you by associative connection and therefore you feel a negative experience. Here, obviously, you need to contact a specialist to make it easier for you.

Oh, I'll revise my opinion. I think you're right. Then, should I go in the direction of treating all triggers?
There are many people who don't suffer from this symptom (I think everyone has a trigger). Nevertheless, why do I suffer from this symptom?)Why do I suffer from this symptom? Do you know why?
I can speak English to some extent, but I am not fluent, so I also use a translator. I'm sorry if my English wasn't good enough.

This is a very "thin" topic and giving advice is not something I should be doing because my specialty is different. I can only make assumptions, and to treat or help people cope with injuries and problems should be specialists who know better than me about the causes and ways to cure it.

In this case, do not be shy to contact specialists and think about what others will think about you. This is your problem and it should not concern others. So feel free to contact the specialists. And remember, everything will be fine with you, and your problems are temporary. As wise people say, "this too shall pass."

what you are expriencing is called flashbacks commonly associated with ptsd. I am not saying you have ptsd but maybe you do. Young people can get ptsd too (even if you didn't experience war, rape, torture)
