Talking

I always thought that talking about my problems would be too hard. I was scared that telling someone might make it all worse. You know like talking about it would make me relive things that I’d think about it more. But it wasn’t like that. After I started talking about some of the stuff I had gone through, the darkness of it all had less power over me. It wasn’t like a huge weight had been lifted- I felt exhausted emotionally afterwards; but I was somehow more at peace, I felt like I had more control. When I feel and think about the bad stuff now I don’t feel so powerless. I am learning to confront my fear, heal and even grow.
