Things can occur to you at weird times too. I'm 62 years old and about an hour ago I had a huge panic attack that hit me out of the blue. I suddenly realized that I'm terrified of obese people. Intellectually I don't feel any prejudice, I don't think obese people are bad people or lazy. I couldn't figure it out. Then a childhood memory slammed into me. We had a neighbor family that lived 2 houses away. The entire family was obese and they bullied me horribly. They would throw me down and sit on me. spray me with a water hose when I walked by their house. Call me a skinny beotch. I was skinny but so what?
Anyway, why it took me 62 years to remember this I have no clue.

Surprising, isn't it?
I've had some memories come back this year with the smallest triggers.
I was initially shocked even though I could recall once things did surface.
I guess I was "ready" for the memory to present itself.
I'm sorry you were bullied like that!
