Childhood Its Just A Book

Just leaves me feeling so down and drained

That happened to me when i was getting memories back. Take it easy, just allow them to be there, just sit with them. Dont do anything with them, just let them sit. Soon, you will be able to accept them.

It is draining work, I know. Def rest and do some self care!

Im sorry about the holding it in. I can def relate! :hug:

And just to make it all really confusing, sitting on the loo and having trouble getting the flow started...that's a Dissociation indicator...:confused:

Last week I had a big "memory" session with my T, and I slept for 3 hours afterwards. It's hard work and it's draining - physically and mentally - so be gentle with yourself. Sleep, good food, stay grounded. Don't feel like you need to achieve a tonne of other stuff right now, because you're doing a lot of hard work on this.

Im Really needing to function right now but just can't. Good to know that I'm not the only one who sleeps after T tho. Thought it was just me :)

Thinking about the book...the first half of the book I am realizing is the only tangible thing or memory flash I have that represents a childhood before...you know...before that page happened. A brief glimpse before trauma...I was probably 4 or earlier so it's very brief. Maybe that's what I'm holding on to.
