Confronting your feelings

It took me a long time to admit that something was bothering me when I've always tried to convince myself that it wasn't. It is like shoving your feelings under a carpet and pretending they aren't there. but its always in the subconscious. It made me feel detached and motionless. But after learning to sit with it and reflect, I've come to realize its impact on me. things start to make sense and i could continue with life and get better
