I thought you were being pretty clear, but maybe because it reminds me of how I'm working through my own stuff. I used to suppress a lot of my emotions, thoughts, and feelings and just say whatever.

Now I find it better to focus my time trying to talk to and help people. The intrusive thoughts come less than they used to. I notice a difference when they start coming on stronger and I make better choices instead of living in a bottle. I've been focusing on my health: exercise, nutrition, and sleep are 3 great pillars to build on.
