As an adult, I often felt like a kid was trapped inside me. Especially when things weren’t going well. I felt isolated, alone and out of place around others. For much of my life, I said, “Yes” when I really wanted to say, “No”.
Why did I say yes? How can I get out of it?
At some point, I noticed myself having extreme reactions disproportionate to what was actually occurring in real time. There were also the thoughts and emotions that didn’t feel like my own. Sometimes, I felt completely imprisoned…like I had no other option. The thought of talking to others about these things resulted in intense internal fear…a fear that “they” would think I was crazy…and either mock, shame, or abandon me. Part of me felt phony…like I had to please others in order to fit in and be accepted. It was as if my only value was always doing things for everybody else.
Legacy Loops: Healing Me, Healing You, is third in a series of memoirs detailing my healing journey. This bold, inspiring, and insightful work candidly and courageously explores my innermost thoughts. And, more importantly, the recovery I enjoy today.
To anyone who may be suffering in silence, “It’s safe to come out of hiding, you’re not alone.”
