You aren't the only one. I used to fall asleep thinking about those type of things. So I guess it did relax me. I don't have them as often. I don't use it to fall asleep anymore. Do you have a therapist? I would reach out to them.

A partner who you trust that is understanding. Knowing your own self and your triggers. Make sure your partner is aware of your triggers. For example, if anyone touches the front of my neck I freak out. So my partner knows that. Would it help to keep your eyes open? Would talking keep you...

Yes, I totally understand.

I have to get this out of my head. I might lose it. Last night I was journaling to Jesus. Journaling has truly been helpful. Well, I don't know what Happened exactly but something got triggered and I lost it. I remembered a lot. Why I don't like feet. Why I don't like body hair. What I was doing...

I went and talked to her and got everything squared away. We are good.

So, I posted in here approximately month ago about having issues disclosing. Well, I have been keeping my musings on my phone in an app I have. So today I have therapy. I took a huge leap and texted it to her. Thinking she wouldn't text anything back but we would talk about it in therapy. It...

So, writing it down seems to help. Great suggestion and thank you. Anything else?

I knew it was wrong but I repressed so much of it. I went through the whole it was my fault phase. I was also threatened not to tell. So I would think it would be wrong if someone wanted me not to tell.

First of all, I trust my Therapist. I have such issues disclosing my abuse. I don't really talk to anyone about my abuse. I have a strong stance on vicarious trauma. I have this thought process that it stops with me. I am not going to allow this memory to have power over anyone else. So, I don't...

I like your perspective.

I have had cranial sacral therapy but it was for a head injury and it changed my recovery. In one session it decreased my light and sound sensitivity by 85%. I have never had any treatments for PTSD. Sorry.

I don't believe we will ever find our innocence intact if it is taken from us. I feel like I have recovered a lot, so much I don't come in here very often. The massive gaping festering wound in my soul is pretty much gone. I forgave and I accepted it. It sounds extremely simple but it took 17...
