I get the feeling that there is something roiling up in my sub-conscious/repressed memory [View all]

It is triggering anxiety, seemingly out of nowhere. We all know that therapy requires digging deep in to some pretty harsh memories and I've had to do a lot of that.

However, SOMETHING is still there so I guess that is something that qualifies as repressed. The stuff I chose to suppress was bad enough. This feels like something dreadful and I have not a clue as to what it might be.

Of course it might just be that the 10th anniversary of my sister's and mom's death are right around the corner.
