My therapist: "Your PTSD is bordering on a DID diagnosis."

Don't suppress your feelings. It doesn't make you "strong". Go get help. Or you'll end up suffering so much more and ruining your own life.

Only if repressing it is equivalent to pushing it over. Then repression will usually make it grow larger. You can shrink it and make it less of a problem, even though it's standing up. This requires confronting it through therapy or with similar outside help.

I have one of those from when I was young but it doesn't stand up anymore, I think younger me took the metal weight out of it for some reason.
