(((((((Daisy))))))
Your quest for understanding your various selves is not a shameless plea for help, it's just a request with no shame involved.
I suspect my youngerself is who caused me to quit therapy and just plain give up on myself. Unlike, brave Daisy, I can't let her talk in therapy. I can't even let her write it down and have it read.
I think those things came pouring out because olderself was ready to let youngerself let go of them. Maybe her suicidal ideation isn't a physical death wish, but the death of the pain about all the really bad things that happened to her? Letting her talk is a way to release that pain, so maybe that's why she came out and stayed out?
I wish I had real answers and not just ideas with question marks.
