I feel something behind the word "let go" you use. I think you are struggling to run away from it. Let it, I mean, the past come up, through you, because it won't affect you anymore.

Your advice is sound. I've been using the release technique to acknowledge and release the energy that comes with the feeling but the sadness is still overwhelming when it comes. And I just don't know how to let go of the past, I've never really done it, I still feel attached to all of my exes. I think this experience that I'm going through is trying to make sense of statements instructing me to let go of the past; it hurts because I'm unwilling and because I don't know how.
