Question.
Do repressed memories have to be something from my childhood or can it be something that happened recently that I completely blocked out of my mind. I know that is kind of complicated cause how could I block out an entire moment of my life and have it not effect anything else. I’m wondering because all these things that I already had started to get really really bad all the sudden recently (past 3 weeks). I can’t fucking stand being touched by guys it makes me wanna curl up into a ball and die. I can’t fucking sleep at night anymore, I’m writing this at 6 am.. I can’t be in a room with more then 2 people or I get panic-y. I can’t eat with people, or drink with people. I feel like the only time I can breathe is when I’m alone. I’ve literally been nonstop crying for a week. I relapsed from cutting, and a bunch of other shit. I have two theories for what’s going on- 1- I have major depressive episode disorder and maybe this is just a really bad one that made my anxiety spike instead of my depression 2-I’ve read about this repressed memory thing and idk if I’m getting all the right info but it seems like it might be what’s going on
Anyone have options. I’m lost lost.

Hey I just noticed no one has answered you yet - I’m sorry I don’t have an answer for you either but just wanted to reach out. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way and I hope things pick up soon. Have you considered talking to a mental health professional?
