chad fucked and partied when he was young while she saved herself for the right guyI (26F) have had horrible RJ in the past because my boyfriend (30M) had some wild high school years involving drugs, fights, and lots and lots of sex. I didn't think I could ever overcome it because the thoughts of all his past hookups were so invasive and had such power over me.
Clinical denial is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person refuses to accept or acknowledge the reality of a situation, despite evidence to the contrary, often as a way of avoiding emotional distress.However, I decided that this was destroying me and I just didn't want it anymore, so I simply told myself "I don't have it anymore." Even if it felt like i was completely lying, I kept saying it, and eventually I started believing it. Some days I had to scream it in the mirror, but after a while it got a little better. I would have those mental movies pop in my head, and when they did, I simply imagined myself being unaffected by them. I would picture myself running into his ex, and I replaced the thought with me smiling and going on with my day, and imagined what life would be like if i was completely healed
