The Butterfly Effect 2004

Evan's (Ashton Kutcher) suffers a life of various traumas from a very young age. Along side the trauma, Evan would black out, causing him to miss parts of his life.
To try and help solve his black out and memory loss, Evan starts writing a daily diary.

Later in the film, Evan realises that he can supernaturally go back in time, to the time of the black out where a trauma was involved, and then alter the situation to stop the trauma from happening, ultimately thinking he would make things right.

However, from him solving one problem, other problems would then crop up.
This is a film about Evan trying to fix his, and his friends and family's past, however it's very distressing as it doesn't work out.
