Erin: Once I got into mental clarity, I was just so glad to be in the present that I didn’t care about my past.
I CAN THINK ON MY OWN
My past was all so consuming it was nice to think about the present. I didn’t forget my past or how I used to feel. Remember that depression has an overwhelming feeling of shame. Shame requires you to live in your past. To be honest I wanted nothing to do with my past because it hurt so much.
My past is visited by my therapy session so I could lay down a btter thought process for highly emotional situations. My depression created ‘knee jerk’ reactions that were not healthy.
Ie being defensive regarding work performance. I used to be so defensive. My therapist and I revisited the past so I can find out why I react to certain things and lay down newer constructive reactions to unwanted behaviors.
I hope that was helpful.
