This may not be the right place to post, and i don't really know what i"m looking for, but i don't know what to do anymore. I feel as though there's something i need to get out - to say, to tell someone - but i can't find in me what that would be. I don't have a traumatic past and i tend not to believe "repressed memories." I've had this possibility suggested to me a few times but i don't feel any merit to it, at least for myself. I've dealt with eating disorders, self-injury, social anxiety and issues with sex. I dont know where to start in getting help from a counselor because i have nothing to offer - i have no information for them. This is so frustrating when i always feel like i need to go to a trusted friend and get something out when there is nothing.
Like i said, i dont know what i want out of this post, but i welcome any of your thoughts.

Hi and welcome!

Maybe you just feel that you need to make a connection with someone. I've had that feeling from time to time. I may have a problem but I know exactly what to do about it. Yet, I want to tell someone. I need to know that someone cares.

Maybe you need to explore "repressed memories." I know there's some people that don't believe in them, but I'm here to tell you, they exist! I had some horrific ones. Just a couple of weeks ago I started having problems with some memories coming back, but I dealt with them. It feels ever so much better!

Trust your inner voice. If you feel you need to tell someone something, there probably is something to tell. A councelor would know how to figure it out.

I wish you the best.

How was it that your repressed memories started coming back? Were you in counseling? Sorry - i dont mean to be nosy, just trying to understand.

so... are you saying that you don`t know what where does your problemn come from?

"I've dealt with eating disorders, self-injury, social anxiety and issues with sex."
-seems like THIS is your information
and if they start asking you why and you don`t know.. they can have other nethods to discover-if teh are REAL pro.

i remember having a feeling that i didn`t know where it came from - and in the end my concelour told me that we have no control of the unknown and npot all quesitons have aswers...and the moment i LET GO of the quesiton, stoped thinking and trying to figur out-that`t when i immidiatly found the answer!

Please look into reading "Feelings Buried Alive NEVER Die" by Karol Truman.

IMO - this book will help you to understand the WHYS..... ((( hugs )))

Welcome :heart_spin

I'm sorry you are having to go through this. Repressed memories do exist. I know from experience.
I won't soft soap it, it's a hard rough road, but know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Please take of yourselve.

I had repressed memories and they all came back, smack dab in my face while unloading a dishwasher of all things......putting the forks away.......

Not sure what triggered it, but I remembered and I knew it was all true. I then searched for any corroborating material I could, found little, but found absolute corroboration to my truth.......it was/is very upsetting.

Take care of you and be open to the possibilities that exist in the mind.
