that's the thing with me i bottle everything up cos I just don't have anyone to talk to anyway. So when I do make that connection with someone everything comes rushing out and there is no controlling it.

 

I constantly apologise for my emotions and for them having to deal with it. Unfortunately I punish myself after for letting myself feel things and for burdening someone with my problems and yes that's something I'm working on changing, I'm trying to remind myself that I'm allowed to feel things and I'm allowed to show those feelings and emotions. 

Yeah, I honestly don't know if we ever become comfortable letting our emotions out like that after containing them for so long, especially if it's all we've ever done!  It's like learning another language though... it takes time and practice.  And even then we probably never become as 'fluent' as we do in the language we first learnt.  We can go out an learn to speak Japanese for example.  But we probably never become as fluent as we do in English and we certainly never forget English... that is always with us.

 


That second box of tissues may or may not be a direct result of your previous session, but if you don't need them feel free to send them my way ๐Ÿ˜‚.


No, they're all mine! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ  I think she may start charging me for them.
