For how long can your past trigger you??

How long you will think of 'em!
What if you are forced to think of them everytime
Ron Eldard @topslugger
At first who were they?
By the word they I meant my past
family abuse?
I really donβt know what to call it. But my parents keep taunting me for my past. And that triggers me a lot.
get independent?
Am not of that age yet
Age?
16
Oh, understandable. Talk to someone close then
Firstly, I am not close to anyone. Secondly, my problems canβt be shared, even if shared it canβt be understood.
They can be understood by experts!
Well I had also visited an expert. Infact I am on medications. But still my parents keep taunting me every single time. Honestly sometimes I feel like just giving up.
Share all this with the experts then
I have shared. But she didnt understand well and the next appointment is after 6 months.
Oh, that long. Call a crisis helpline and take help.
Opening up to one person itself was hard now I cant open up to someone else.
Well no help then
Hmm⦠Thanks for your support.
I have already let that go and started a new beginning but what if others keep reminding you of that?
I am also 16. I understand what itβs like being traumatized with past abuse.
It hurts a lot specially when you want to move on but people around you donβt let you forget anything.
Can we talk?
Yes sure. Drop your id.
I have told them many times. They either call me characterless or just ignore me.
I have added you
Thanks a lot

this is such an intriguing subject

i think the past can really screw around with you, your head. It self feeds and becomes so much bigger than what it really is

But maybe the first step could be to just acknowledge it, give the attention it deserves, then maybe dissect it for once, see what is it that make us feel, good/bad/guilty. Learn from it, see if its worth your time, your emotions, it is more of a parasite living off of you or not?
Whenever I think of it, it makes me feel guilty. I have acknowledged and accepted all my mistakes. Indeed it is like a parasite stuck in my life.

maybe its just something that can be repaired, but a lot of times, than biggest take away could be the learning from it
I wish I could go back and change a few things thats just impossible. Yup it did give me a lesson.
