FabSwingers.com forum: The Past

The suicide thread got me thinking. When I was very young, my mum had a stomach alcer and was very ill, she went down to 5 stone, she couldn't eat, she developed a complex that meant she couldn't bare to be touched it made her feel sick and have to scrub herself clean. So I kinda lacked affection and always feared she would die in her sleep. My dad walked out as he couldn't handle it. I started self harming, I don't know why. Was a lot going on so nobody noticed, I was angry at me and tried to hang myself at 7.

Now I've thought about this and how it could have affected me, but choose to live on the basis, it happened, its past I make my choices now. Do other people feel there pasts run them or that counselling helps them?

Learn from the past, look forward to the future, and enjoy life in the present.

Works for me.
