Over the past week I have felt more energized by this song from Disney's Frozen, called Let it Go, I finally articulated part of what I do for si, but it's still hard for me. My favorite line is "the Perfect Girl is gone" I always thought that I had to be perfect, and that's when things got harder. I've always been told that I have to be perfect, and then I found pain to be something to help control the shame, but it added more shame.

I've been hurt by my family, by hiding si, hiding depression, hiding every negative thought. It doesn't bother me but the withdrawal of those around me has affected my relationships. Because of all the shame, I hide EVERYTHING. This song helps me to just let it go, not caring what people think. I still want to hide but I realize that mental things have caused some problems with those around me.

I keep playing the song hoping that I will be able to just let things go, and not give into any urges. But the storm is all around me. "Conceal don't feel.... I don't care what they are going to say" I just hope that last part can come true for me, that I can trust in myself to be able to see what I can achieve.

I love that song You are definitely right that hiding can cause even more problems and negative emotions as time goes on. All I can suggest is to take it slow and try to remember to let it go. Focus on one or two things at a time and slowly work up to more.

Let it GO!

It takes time to let go. Don't give up.

Especially since the single version is sung by Demi Lovato, which makes it even more uplifting since she went through self-harm before as well.
