the feeling of having said or shared too much is very common with survivors of abuse and those living with DID.

sometimes it is merely discomfort at the subject matter and all it takes is getting it out and practice talking about the uncomfortable subject.

other times it is someone inside who doesn't wish for the amount of sharing going on and kicks in with the paranoia and inner messages of "stop sharing" "don't talk" "don't tell" "you've said too much" etc.

round and round it goes in the cycle. yep. we are familiar with that kind of thinking.

awareness is the first step in changing something. now that you are aware of this cycle perhaps you can start making tiny steps to change? bit by bit....it is possible ya know!

hang in there lrks. we have always looked forward to any contribution from your screen name............no matter who is the one posting. we care about all of ya.
