A lot of my depression and anxiety stem from things that happened years ago, however they still affect me negatively. Does anyone have any tips of how to let go and move on?
How about coming up with a list of all the traumatic events that have happened. On the same list, next to each event, reflect what it would take for you to move on from these events, then next to that track your progress as you work to find closure from each event? I know this is a massive simplification, and the hard work is actually finding closure, but this will help give you a path to follow.
hey hun, that can be tough. I have/had a lot of baggage from my childhood/youth/marriage as well and I used to just put it in boxes in my mind or stuff it down deep but that was a constant struggle to manage. so I've started unpacking the boxes, examining things, weighting them, and where I can casting things aside. not that I forget, I cant seem to be able to do that, but not allowing them the seriousness that I assigned them in the past. it's not perfect but it is a help. hope this helps.(*hug*)
