I'd Forgotten

[Viosinger]

I'd forgotten how consuming it can be when everything surfaces. I woke up with my bedroom door open this morning, I knew I shut it when I went to sleep. I freaked.

It's been years since I let myself go through these emotions. I'd bottled them up so well. Now, as I uncork the bottle bit by bit in therapy, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

It's a lot to deal with, those bottled emotions don't go stale from being corked up. It's just as strong as it was when you put it in there, sometimes it feels like a shaken up bottle of soda spraying all over the place when they come out. You're not losing your mind, you're finding it.

I often wish they'd gone at least a little stale. I guess the good thing this time around is I'm in a much better place. I have a fantastic, loving boyfriend, one or two close friends who've been great support, and I'm learning to limit my schedule so I have the energy. & health I need to continue in a healthy manner (most of the time, anyway).

& thank you.... Sometimes just hearing you're not crazy is a big help.
