I have had a horrible time with disassociation in my life. And it really has caused hell in my current relationship. My new therapist and i have been working on this and for the last 60 days have been free of this. To be frank I do not like sitting with some of these emotions. And can see it is how I was able to avoid some of these moments when I was in bad situations.

As i am thinking about what you said about blocked. It possible I have this too. Kind of scary to imagine what might be behind the blockage and equally scary what might be causing it.

I was brought up with crying not being acceptable in front of others. I have had a few brief crying jags in front of my gf which I really I really do not know if I should have or not, but I did. Right now I am at the point where if it comes, it comes...

Be kind and take care of yourself.
