Issues opening up..
Hi first time posting on here .. This all is new to me, I'm 30 years old and I'm just realizing that figuring yourself out is hard. Right now my big issue is opening up .. i dont like talking about my feelings.. I absolutely hate it . I guess i was always ta7ght to brush it under the rug and everything is good. We'll no not everything is good cause under the rug is getting full and I'm still not sure how to deal with this. It's taken a big toll on my relationship. Like I bin with my man for 9 years now and honestly I don't know how he dealt with me for that long and is still willing to stick around and help me through this .. it's definitely been a rough go the last year.. and I guess I'm just wanting to see if others had any advice or suggestion about opening up and easy way to deal, with you emotions. ?
Hey Sunny,
I have dealt with a lot of the same issues as I was raised very similarly. No blood no tears and tears mean weakness, but that’s simply not true. Tears show strength as you are accepting your emotions which can be very hard at times. I’ve learned that it can be scary to cope with emotions because the scariest thing is not the emotion, but what we are coping with that caused the emotions. Overall, it just takes time and I know that’s not what you wanna hear, but what time you’ll slowly find your triggers and the things that calm you. And then, when you get into this state, you’ll be able to help talk yourself away from being overwhelmed. However, until then I am happy to listen as I know It can be hard to open up and be vulnerable but once you’re able to do it, it’s so beneficial and you feel so much healthier and lighter overall! Thank you so much for sharing, I’m happy you’re giving 7 cups a chance!😊
