Sufferer Hi Everyone ... Looking For A Way To End The Abuse

[Misul]

I already made a post in the Discussion forum as I need help urgently, but I wanted to do a proper introduction here.

I'm Misul; nice to meet you all. Sorry we have to meet because of this common PTSD. I had childhood trauma from several sources and am living with my abusive father at age 32 to to my inability to work. I have many health issues and am looking for some support. My local government agencies and charities are full with patients and haven't been accepting more for over a year now. I hope that I can give some kind of support to others as well.

I often feel alone in this world, but my greatest wish is to get away from abuse once and for all to live peacefully before my health gets worse and then even afterwards.

Welcome! I'm sorry that you have the need for a place of comfort, but glad you found 'us'. I never knew there were so many who have been abused since childhood, and the abuse continues into their/our adulthood.

I am blessed to have survived much pain and sorrow, and at 56 am relatively 'stable'. Sometimes the past comes up and smacks me in the heart and mind, but I have learned skills to help, and learned that every day ends, and the tomorrows are sometimes better.

It is great that you can already think far enough ahead about helping others, but first, you must work on you! Here, maybe you can do a little of both. Sometimes a person just needs a few words of encouragement, as yourself, and you will find yourself having those words. Hopefully, someone will read YOUR words, and offer help and a hand to get back up.

Again, welcome, and I hope to see you around!

Hi and welcome.

I am glad that you realize that you must get away from your current abusive situation. As I do not know which country you live in I cannot be helpful with government agencies. Do you have any friends or sympathetic family members who can help you? Are you receiving any type of counseling?

You need more than just moral support. You need to take concrete steps to get out of this abusive situation as soon as possible.

All the best to you.

Misul, take your time learning your way around. The Forum has so much information and caring members and Staff.

Others have posted some excellent information. Someone is here 24/7 and just around the corner at times!

The Wiki section has some excellent reading material. Welcome, Whitney

Hi Misul,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum! :)

There is a self-help section that you may find beneficial while you are waiting for services. PTSD does not only take a toll on mental health, but physical health as well and to your best ability, do what you can to get plenty of water, rest, and good nutrition. These seem like basics, but with PTSD it is sometimes even difficult to handle the basics.

I hope you find the information and support here helpful.

Wishing you the best.

Debbie

The wiki is already helping me - I'm on the part about guilt and shame which has been one of my largest challenges. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Nice to meet you, Misul-

Sorry to hear about your troubles. This is a great site for getting good advice and lending a hand where you can relate to another. I hope you feel empowered and better soon.

Hi Misul. Welcome to the forum. I'm glad you found this place to help you and that it is already proving useful. You are in good company here.

I'm sorry your local system is so overburdened that you can't be seen right now. Don't give up though. This place is a great source of support but counseling is so very important. Keep checking back with them or get on a waiting list. You've made it this far.

Welcome, Misul. You've come to the right place. You're not alone here - many of us understand on very personal levels what you're going through. I hope you're able to find somewhere safer to live, too. In the interim, use this place as a safe space for venting and talking about things - that alone can help immeasurably. *offers gentle hugs*

 

[Misul]

Shoulderblades,

Thank you very much for your warm response. This is the only place in the world where no one has tried to find why things are "my fault" or told me nonsense like "we were all raised like that," etc. I've only been around a few days, and just as the warning post stated, my symptoms are a bit worse because I'm doing a lot of thinking, but I can already tell that this site and the people on it are helping me.

Misul, I hope that you can soon find a way to be free of abuse. Are you eligible for federal disability? If so, that might help you get out and be on your own.

In any case, there IS life free from abuse and I know you can get there.
