Calm forest Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hello everyone. For the past 6 years ive attempted to justify everything that had happened. But only recently my past has finally resurface. Im suffering from memories recurring and im stuck in a horrible painful loop. I have so many blessings and reasons to be happy. Yet im bouncing back and forth from being depress and angry. I've never shared my story besides to a random crisis hotline which saved my life. Hopefully i can find support and strength here. Im very strong yet vulnerable. Link to post

I am sorry that you are having such difficult painful memories, I can relate to the experience of everything coming to the surface many years later. Please be gentle with yourself during this time, it feels horrible right now but it can be part of the path to healing, for things have a way of needing to come out. I am glad you found support through a crisis line and I hope you will find lots of support and strength here as well. It makes sense that you are bouncing back and forth in feelings, trying to integrate traumatic memories of things you never should have had to experience is very emotionally difficult. Take your time here and feel free to share as much or as little as you choose, when you are ready. I wish you the best as you continue to heal, g Link to post
