Everytime someone makes some argument against me, talking about some casual debates, or simply talks a bit harsher towards me I always get feeling like I want to cry? Idk why, in most situations I just don’t feel anything, in most normal situations I am simply existing with little to no emotions, sometimes smiling. I don’t really know where to post this, hope this is right place.
It’s kind of like when you get a sunburn, and someone comes up and gives you a slap right on the sunburn. Maybe they meant to, or maybe they didn’t. Either way, it’s going to hurt like hell until your sunburn heals.
One of the many things I’ve learned in my two years of therapy is that we carry our pain and trauma around like a big old sunburn, and more often than not we get slapped by other people not realizing we’re hurting already.
I wish you the best on your journey of healing. It’s never easy, and you’ll often find yourself relapsing. But don’t give up on yourself.
