I think I have avoidance trauma because I tend to avoid to remember about something traumatic. Like I avoid that memory so I don't feel sad. I know it's such a cowardly act but idk anymore i just want to be happy without worrying :((

@hopefulencounter Hey there. Don't feel so bad about avoidance. Instead look at it as a chance to grow and learn. Life can be so stressful. Sometimes it's good to avoid things, yet we also have to learn when to face the fear. Life isn't a race. We each learn and grow based on our own situations and experience. It's brave of you to seek advice :)
