I think my past is finally beginning to lose its grip on me

[BitterlyAlive_]

Some people here may remember me from back when I had my original account. I really think I'm finally beginning to make progress. It might be temporary but I've been strangely calm and arguably content after reconciling some things in my mind over the past two days.

My ex, the rapes, my parents, other various issues from my past…. They don't hurt right now like they usually do. I actually feel detached in a good way? It feels like I'm living more in the present atm than the past. And that feels huge.

I guess I just want to post this because I've made so many threads venting about these issues. It seems fair to make one that's more positive.

I'm so very glad you are feeling better. Sometimes it does seem to lift suddenly, after years of slow progress. Big hugs.

That is good to hear. I am pleased for you. I wish you the best.

Thank you for sharing this, I am so glad you are feeling better and more present <3
I'm grateful too because this gives myself hope also.

Thank you, guys. :) I'm still going to ctb eventually, but at least I feel somewhat free. My life feels like it may be mine. It's weird.

I'm glad you're feeling more at peace with your thoughts lately, that's such a freeing feeling to have. I remember reading some of your vents & thoughts before, and it's awful to know another human must feel such pains. It's really hard to recover from trauma like that, but to be away from those haunting memories for at least a little bit is a big relief in itself. I hope that they continue to lose the such tight grip they once had, you deserve to be at peace with your own thoughts. Big hugs
