I feel terrible. I am back again to marinating in my outrage over the humiliation I received during my inpatient treatment (not really treatment, rather treated like a slave). I try to let it go, but it keeps coming back. Sometimes I will spend a matter of minutes trying to move past something, and it's back at me in under a second. I'm super angry, but I keep feeling like it must be my fault, because the hospital did nothing to make me whole, and yet somehow they still have a license. So now it's a combo of disgust, pain, anger, resentment, shame, and guilt.
I have done meditation to calm down, including a specific technique for letting strong emotions come through. That works for a few minutes and then something will remind me. I get all spun up again when the reminder comes. Really just want the hurting to stop. I'm even out of it to the point that I can't cognitively reach my values. I would throw away things that I value and future peace just to have an escape. Totally irrational in the long run, and probably more pain than it's worth in the short run. I feel like I can't do this anymore. The mistreatment has virtually bifurcated my adult life. Looking back, I have my childhood, then adult life before the event, and adult life after the event. I haven't found a way to move past this, and it hurts.
