Sufferer Breaking The Ice

[Steven Sentell]

Hello everyone. My name is Steven, and I don't really know what to talk about yet, so why not tell everyone a little bit about myself. I've been in the military for eight years now, with two tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. All three of those trips have just added in additional trauma, but like any good masochist, I kept going back. Going back a little farther, I was abused and sexually assualted by my parents as a child. I got a lot of screws loose upstairs because of all of this, and I need a little help. Therapy and meds are doing what they can, but I need something more. I'm hoping I've come to the right place for that.

You can also visit the sister site http:// when you are a veteran. Only military people allowed there. My hubby likes that site, 'cos the others are going / went through similar things.

Hi- I'm new as well and I have to say that its been much easier to open up here then it is for me in "real life" face to face conversations with people. I can stop when things get to be too much and revisit what I was typing later and I can take time to thinking about someone's response with out having to have an immediate response myself.

i hope you find it to be easier to reach out too.
