Thanks for posting this readytostop. It was a helpful quote for me to read.

For me personally the quote made quite a bit of sense. The more I think about it, the more I tend to rationalize or normalize it in my head. But I tend to find that it is still there because it's stuck in my head. I haven't released it. But when I feel the pain (cry, get angry, or let it show in some other external manner) it tends to dissipate or lessen more quickly. It's out of my head and no longer concentrated in me. That said, I am horrible at actually doing this. I learned horrible coping skills for sadness and anger and tend to bottle them up.
