I just wanted to check in even though it's tough for me to now check in publicly, I tend to just write in my diary only. The challenges I'm facing is memories that have pushed their way to the forefront since I moved house to be safe. I suppressed some of them, maybe to protect my mind, to protect myself from doing things I shouldn't I don't know why I suppressed them but I wish they would stay suppressed. Because at the moment it's too much, but I'm trying to think positive and happily while I start new and fresh knowing I'm safe.

I'll absolutely agree that distancing yourself from distressing things is super helpful in the moment... from my experience I have a hard time knowing when to *stop* the dissociation. It can be so much calmer in my happy place in my head that I forget how vital it is to be present in the moment as well.
I obviously can't tell you what's right and what's wrong- I just hope that having someone understand and relate makes you feel like it isn't so nerve-wracking to post here. We're all here for you, and each other.
@calmLake1999 if you felt the need to supress you do you lake ty for checking in despite finding this difficult you did awesome in doing so hopefully those bad memories stay away so your able to live the happy life you deserve hugs if you'd like one lake
