Trying to Stop the Bleed…

The Bleed – 2022 / 2025

I just saw this quote and it did hit me hard. I feel it’s very true. 

“If you don’t heal what hurt you, you will bleed on people who didn’t cut you.” Unknown

I can now see that I’ve been bleeding because of the repressed pain I’ve been carrying. It came out unconsciously and in my triggers. I can’t tell you how sorry I am that I bled on you during my triggered states. I truly am. Thank you so, so much for understanding my lovely {} xxx 

I also understand, I really do {} xxx

This is why open and honest communication is so important. With your help and by working on it in therapy, the bleed reduced considerably, it really did. I felt it was coming to an end just before our last day.

I’m now realising that the pain is actually still there, but I will work on this with my therapist.

I’m still convinced healing is possible, so that the past no longer has a firm grip, and affects our lives in such a negative and uncontrollable way. I know it’s always prevented me from living fully and freely.
