Hi, Welcome to the Group. 

Hi, I have recently joined the group.  I have not posted anything yet or started a journal but have read through a few.  I have had suppressed / repressed memories that have been coming to the surface.  Close to 2 years ago they started coming together and I could no longer ignore them.  The good days and bad day are starting to ease up a bit but it is in my mind everyday.  The cycle of memories and thoughts start with when I am 3 years old and go through to my mid 30's.  Some days it repeats over and over all day long.  I am tired of reliving the abuse and want to find some level of peace.  My DH has listened to me when I need someone to talk to and is getting tired of hearing about it at times on a daily basis.  I leave out a lot of the details and names when I talk to him.  I feel like if I talk to anyone in depth about what has happened that it will somehow make things worse. 

I am feeling optimistic about having a safe place to work through what is going on.  I want to give journaling a chance and learn more about daily coping skills.  Any advice on how to manage the approach avoidance issues with talking or writing about what has happened would be greatly appreciated.
