Depending on what you mean by "darkest regions," yes, I have. Dark can imply hidden and not necessarily evil. Thoughts and intense emotions that are too overwhelming to be processed in real time can be tucked away in the mind. A few times in my adult life the thoughts and feelings associated with traumatic experiences have come to the surface. I was startled by the intensity of the pain and grief and it was easy to see why it would have been too much for me as a youngster. As an adult I was healthy and safe enough to let the trauma be brought into the light so that I could grieve and heal. It's a good thing but it's terrible and difficult at the same time.

I was startled by the sheer beauty, the assortment of animals, all quite friendly, and the gentle quietness.
Unlike a Freudian, I am a Jungianist, and quite happily a trancendentalist Christian Warlock. Thre is no darkness deep within me at all.

No! I turn them into macabre christmas tales. Every year I write a depressing Christmas tale and send it to all my loved ones in custom made cards that I design. This years tale dealt with being assaulted by a homeless man dressed like Santa outside of the Victorias Secret at Union Square, and how I got the Spirit of Christmas, which was given to me in a heavy liquid filled specimen jar. I say when life hands you lemons, make lemonade!

I've never thought of the dark places of my mind as a place I could go and visit. It's the other way around. Those dark places come and visit me, then I have to fight them back.

I think I've pretty much been all around my mind and the biggest surprise has been that I am much more courageous than I ever thought I was.
Wish I'd known that a little sooner.

yes... despite of my hard, stong minded woman attitude is a child who never really grew up and is still afraid of making friends and opening relationships... i have been so obsessed with bottling up what i feel, afraid that if i show weakness i will not succeed but yesterday i found that my classmates were actually reaching for me but they can't coz i keep pushing them away... we all cried... and i guess that in the back of my mind that strong, always in a hury woman was melting away but it felt good though my brain did object to opening up... but i'm glad that i did... coz now i can have friends... and i can go out of treating them JUST professionally and i can be more involved and can let my feelings out
there is nothing wrong with cying... contradictory to what i thought before.. it feels good to let the little girl in me, out...

No. I am delighted and amused by the regions of my light and hollow mind. Feel free to turn yourself in at any time.

Only if you have dark secrets will you find them hidden in the depth of your thoughts. But, if you have nothing to hide you won't have to dig very far to come up short.
