Taking the plunge

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope Me too

I probably shouldn't be gossiping about it for everyone to read.

@Maggie - I come and go from the forums and have just read your original post. Your courage and love of life is so strong. Thank you for sharing your lived experience and I hope by engaging you you will find the wonderful support and solidarity I have been fortunate enough to experience here too. All the best to you.

This past year has been a concerted effort for me to heal the scars of a childhood (similar to Maggie's) and in the end, fraying at the edges and making my anxiety worse, I decided rather than 'heal' or 'integrate' my wounded child, I needed to let go. Let go. That was a loving act itself. So when the memories of any time in my life intrude, threaten or engulf me in pain... I actively let go (or actively throw them in a big blue bin) and when I find myself deep in shame, or pain - I acknowledge it and let go. It has been a beautiful change wrought as things have bubbled to the top and released. Just as I go through my day, or as I lay down to sleep at night. Hope this imagery might help others of us who are haunted by the past....

Hey @MoonGal ....💕

Thankyou for saying that @Faith-and-Hope

I think so too. So many people try to cover up what goes on, but I no longer believe in that. I believe that things need to be exposed. (especially "you know what").

Have seen and heard too much of it and I hate how they try to cover it up.
