Anita,

Thank you for your advice. Do you have any tips on how I can let go of this shame and guilt and start the journey to heal myself?

I’m scared I’ve done a permanent damage to my relationship in some way and I’m not sure how to move past it. I love my boyfriend and he loves me, and we want to spend the rest of our lives together.

I don’t think telling him would bring anything good. I guess I just want to know if I’ll ever be able to be okay again.
