My heartbreak was probably worse than yours then..but I was young, I was 18...first time I was ever in Love
I didn't know ne better....
I sincerely thought there was no more point to life because of it...how stupid
Likely worse, like I said, I bottle things up quite effectively. My worst one is still from when I was 17. Worse still is that I am still friends with her and its still the same situation... pretty horrible, but I am at a point where it amuses me now far more often than it bugs me.
Ahhhh, reminiscing in the failings of our youth...
Fine, instead of bottling it up I will hit the bottle 🍺
Ultimately, repression is usually considered a bad thing, but it not necessarily. Lack of repression is one of things that may be the cause of the spike in post-traumatic stress disorders. It is an effective defense mechanism is managed well. Besides there is no need to say anything since the situation is still going as it has for years... maybe when it's over.
