I can't concentration on anything... how am I supposed to concentrate on trying to figure out my repressed mem/emo/feeling...?! I try breathing and grounding exercises but I can't bare to sit with myself for how long it takes to make a difference. My skin is crawling and I just want to hibernate and leave myself. My mind and my body aren't connected anymore. I'm so distant from myself. help.

I'm sorry you are having so much anxiety right now. It probably is a repressed memory but it's not something you are going to be able to bring up on your own, otherwise it wouldn't be repressed! And trying to force it will just wind things up even more.
I suggest you find a therapist. Here's a link on How to choose a therapist.
