I think I can be free from the fear of my cousin ever touching me again. As kids he would touch in places I did not want to be touched. He put different objects inside of me, and had me giving him blow jobs at the age of seven. Even as adults he would grab my breast, my butt or kiss me on the...

I am glad you were able to get away. I hope you continue to post here to get it out. You owe him nothing, no phone call, no explanation, no good bye or anything. You owe it to yourself to continue on your journey. I may have missed the answer to the question I am going to ask so please forgive...

The anniversary of the worst assault is coming up. I feel anxious, sad, nervous, and angry. I never do well around the anniversaries of my assaults. One is in April, and one is in May. I just feel like I just need a break. It has been so hard. Although my Mom and I did not have the greatest...

I heard you could not have them both but she says it is possible to have both.

Yes, unfortunately so. I can go a few weeks of feeling good and I can function and then something happens and I just go into a funk that lasts for what seems to months. She said she has noticed changes from week to week. There are times I cannot tell her anything about my week because I am the...

I have been battling my depression really bad for the past several months. My therapist said she would like for me to be tested for bipolar disorder. She explained to me that she believes the trauma I have experienced has caused this. First of all, I had no idea trauma could do that. I thought...

Thank you everyone. I am trying to be strong for my daughter. The effort it takes daily is exhausting.

I feel like I constantly fight a battle with myself. I put a smile on my face when I go to work but when I come home I am so sad, and lonely. Despite our past I spoke to my Mom often. She passed away in October and I am so lost. I don't know if it matters any more. My daughter is 17 and the only...

Thank you all for your feed back and support. I really appreciate it.

I am so frustrated with the constant roller coaster. I feel ok for a few days and then something happens or someone says something that triggers me and then I hate myself again I and I just want to eat and lay in bed while reading. Crying for no reason and everything irritating me. Sleeping...

I have never really tried to talk about them other than in therapy. I did not feel better after talking about them. I do know people who talk about their dreams and say it helps.

I think it can be used for several things. Good luck!

My therapist wants me to do EMDR therapy for four weeks and then come back to her. I have read on EMDR therapy and it really scares me. Another thing is I really can't afford another therapy. I am not sure what will happen if i can't do it. She just said she believes it would help me...

This is correct. The name on the birth certificate does not give him rights. Paternity has to be established in order for him to pay child support and have visitation. Unfortunately she will have to hire an attorney and prove why he should not have visitation. A protective order is definitely...

Thank you @JadesJewel . I do make jewelry every now and then. I am not a crafty person at all. I struggle with staying focused on it because I am not very good. I don't draw but I am good at coloring. I have an aunt that has invested a lot in markers and colored pencils for me. I use them a...
