Hi💜

I started reading a self-help book, @Purple578 that was recommended by a friend. I was willing to try just about anything to grow and heal. The book recommended that instead of running from my feelings, or denying them or suppressing them, that I let myself feel them completely. With compassion.

Well I was wound so tight that it didn't take much for my forgotten previous pain to erupt as screams. I was surprised at the depth of the pain. And what was more shocking is that after I let myself completely feel the pain, and after I cried all the tears that would come, I felt much much better. Relieved.

And the feeling never came back as strongly after I let them come out.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through all of this. Don't worry, you're not alone here. Its great that you shared this with us, I love seeing people share their experiences.

I can understand how you feel because I experienced something a little similar, I haven't completely forgotten a part of my life but I'm struggling with my memory, it's hard for me to remember things that happened in the past few years.

There are some years that I cannot remember at all unless someone shows me a pic or vid to remind me, sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't. when I try to think about what happened in a specific year I can't think about anything. It feels like my head goes blank when I try to remember.

Stay strong, you've got this💗
