Sufferer From Silence

Hi to all.
I am a 49 year old Latina. Married to the love of my life, been with her for 15 years next year. She is incredibly supportive of my process, which I just started a few weeks ago.
I feel like I have been silent all my life.
I experienced many forms of abuse, too many to list and I do not want to trigger anyone either.
I am scared, panicky, confused, stiff, numb.
I had rotator cuff surgery a little over a month ago, so I am off work. I am experiencing a lot of physical pain from the surgery and injury, been taking pain meds, being careful with them.
Things have been stirred up by who knows what, but it is welcomed by me for some reason. Just terrified by what that means.
It feels comforting to know someone could read what I think, other than my wife or therapist. I am seeing a therapist once a week, had 2 sessions so far.
I hope to come back to myself in one piece, saner, stronger and less afraid.
Thanks for taking the time to read. I wish you well in your journey
 
Welcome, Marta.

Don't worry about breaking your silence. We all take responsibility for not reading something if we feel triggery.
