Hi everyone
first time posting so not sure what it’s about. I’m already over the typing lol.
Honestly sometimes it’s just too much isn’t it! If one more shrink tells me to sit with it ?!?!?!😔 If I feel the pain I can’t breathe! That’s what you get for bottling things up for 20 years! And now it’s just too painful to even think about!
Feeling rubbish! 🤕

Thanks for posting @Natter1996 and was good to find a new discussion aside from the flood of the last 4 hours for some stones or whatever it was lols.
Little by little with all that time taken to get to a better spot. Relate and each step is one closer to finding Peace. Take the moments of being overwhelmed as part of the process. Some really good eggs to bounce off of here so reach out when needed for some balancing.
As much as it is annoying for the shrink to say that, it is also part of the process and helps you reflect on all the drama faced for so long.
Keep on track and all the best
