Boppin about this evening & ran across this #article
Are you #Emotionally #Repressed?
harleytherapy.co.uk/counselling/em…
How do the kids say it nowadays? I feel #calledout?
I've gotten much better,but i can still recall a time when I thought the epitome of feeling good, was feeling nothing

Seriously, if you're #reading down the #list going, "That's me, that's me, that's me, and oooooo is that EVER me!"

I'd definitely #recommend getting some #help with the matter.
It's taken years to be #comfortable in my own skin.
Years of breaking the old records in my head
-

-And as #Ralph would say, Totally worth it!

It's a freakin #relief, to cry a tiny bit in a #movie theatre at a moving point in the film, without having to expend all the extra #energy in "did someone see me?"
#exhausting!

and that's just one tiny perk :)

I #lookforward to-

-being able to let someone in, to the simple details in my life, without feeling like I have to be watching for the fall.

This #trait is a #learned one.
Someone #taught us that it's #unsafe to #feel or #share.

They were wrong, or lying, or #victim themselves passing on pain.
-

-I still have years of #work to go, but each day gets easier.
You #learn to #choose #better. "This person reminds me of the person who shoved my feelings off a cliff, steer clear of them!"

"This person lets me just be...ooo. More like this one please!"

It does get better.
-

and #please, for the love of you, #remember.

When you shut it all down.
You not only #shutdown all the bad #feelings and any way that anyone can #hurt you.

You also shut off all the good, and most ways that anyone can offer you any #love.
