Hi all
Not been on the forum for a very long time. Bit selfish of me to ask for help i guess. Sorry :/
Not struggling as such, but have a question..

How do you know when you've recovered?
I am in a fairly ok place, but still struggle a little with the following :
Anniversaries make me anxious
Talking about it is tough
Still feel myself pushing back the memories, some more than others

I dont expect myself to go back to who i was before these events (mainly because i dont know who i was), but want to know what it is like to be 'recovered'. Is there such a thing? How can you tell? Is it that you are able to think about the bad things without it upsetting you? Is it no guilt?

Thanks
