I repress my emotions a lot, because it wasn't 'the done thing' to show one's emotions in my house. As a result, I find that I can't face them, they are far too overwhelming, and I can't talk about them to anyone either, because it means that I have to feel them and express them.

So I push them down until something happens and then the reaction is so out of proportion to the situation that people look at me like I'm crazy.

My therapist has been trying to get me to express my feelings and talk about them but I keep distracting or diverting to something else and she points this out all the time, but I'm so afraid that if I let my emotions out that I might not be able to stop So you are not alone in this *hugs*
