What's the earliest time you can remember feeling this panicky sad upset torture feeling? What happened? How old were you? Who was there? What was said? What did you make it mean: "I am ____." ? |
The panicky torture thing has been going on for as long as I can remember.
I know the being left alone thing bothered me as a child but I have no idea how old I was. How can I uncover what happened ? I just don't remember? Maybe someone told me I was acting silly by crying as I got older? Maybe my mom? I'm really not sure.
