These forums are bad for my mental health. I'm hating right now and like I need a constant daily reminder of how messed up I am.
This may sound odd but I don't think I am messed up. I managed to survive a brutal childhood by dissociating (instinctively). Now I am trying to remember, feel, and move forward. I just don't know how to figure out the pathways. The times when I didn't feel or didn't remember. These things I have kept frozen in time. (My parts). I am not talking about integrating. I am talking about living in the present, feeling the present. This is what I want. Life does not last forever. I don't want to miss the present because we can't let go of the past.
