Recovering emotions "hoarder," mental health nut

You know that one friend or family member that never shows much emotion or suppresses all of their feelings at all costs to feel "together" or "hide it?"

Yeah, that used to be me.

Talk about my feelings? Funny joke. Cry in front of people, let alone cry at all? Knock knock no. Express my thoughts about something is affecting me? If I don't acknowledge it, it's not a thing.

But let's be honest with ourselves, this is beyond unhealthy. So unhealthy that is can take years off of your life and can remove any joy that you could potentially have. So from one recovering emotional inept soul to another....let's talk about it.

Also, my name is Paige.
