What do you mean by "useful"? How could it be more important than experiencing positive feelings?

Now I remember you posted about this before. It sounds like understanding your feelings more could help you understand the reasons for your reactions.

I thought you couldn't remember your childhood? Are there parts of it you can't remember?
If there's such a thing as cs without the a, I can't imagine the stigma wouldn't be traumatic. I can't imagine the a wouldn't be part of it as a small child.
