        Please find a good therapist; they can help you learn to deal with these things in a healthy way and get un-stuck. 💙

        Identifying that you have an unhealthy coping mechanism is a step in the right direction. If you read this, know that you’re not doing anything wrong _yet_. Do take the time to seek a professional to talk about everything - cos bottling up ain’t healthy either. Trust me.

        Detachment is probably a defense mechanism he created as a child to deal with his mom... but then he never shed it. I hope he considers speaking with a counselor. :(

        Totally agree and thought this myself. People are just trying to survive what life throws at them and this can take a long time to work through.

        It took me a long time and a lot of work to feel again, and there are some days when I wish I didn’t feel things so deeply, but there are many more where it’s liberating feeling this alive. People can come back from hell if you let others help you find your way. Never give up.

        Think of five things every day that you are thankful for. Gratefulness will help you notice the small things that make a great life.
