Thank you for sharing. I do have a really great therapist ive been seeing for nine years and I just told her about it recently. Shes fantastic and I know she will help me a lot but its been hard to get an appointment with her these days as her hours have changed. Thanks again!

I have spent almost 10 years sweeping the thought of my rape under the rug...and I have got to say, I have done a pretty good job doing so... until now. Now I live in a world where people speak his name often. Where his child lives in the same apartment building as me. I am constantly imagining...

I was raped almost ten years ago in high school. I hadn't really acknowledged it at all until recently...I just told my therapist of 11 years about it this last year. Part of the reason I didn't acknowledge it was because as soon as I confided in "my best friend" a few days after it happened...

I am surprised at how many responses to you I have read on this thread that have really disappointed me. I think you are brave to try to dig deeper into what really happened and for seeking out help. No matter what your decisions were that night doesn't change the fact that someone took...

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it......and right back at you! :)

When I was 15 years old (now 24) I was officially diagnosed with PTSD and MDD. At that time if you were to ask me if I was abused as a kid id probably shrug and not know what to say. I still have a lot of issues admitting I was an abused child...but I was. Growing up mental illness was...

Thank you for your response. I do have a therapist I see regularly. We have worked on trying to bring a story line to these flash images I have. I did end up remembering one small minor instance and your right it was a complete horror to work through. I do feel that there is so much more (like...

I don't have a lot of time right now to write a long response I have to leave my house in a few. However I wanted to at least say something. I am so sorry that you are going through this, it is not right by any means! I was in a very similar situation myself 9 years ago (and I still haven't...

I really never thought about it this way! I love that I can finally trust my gut because why else would my body respond in certain ways. Thank you

Thank you both! these were both helpful responses. I found a lot of comfort in : "I don't need to doubt myself - because I have all the validation and proof I need in my body." that really resonated and stuck with me :) It was also very helpful to read : " Sometimes though its better this way...

Thank you, it is so frustrating that I am trying to work on improving myself but it is like how can you work on something or move on from something if you cant (or hardly) remember it? Then that causes me to question myself and the abuse that I can vaguely remember

Huh stop frame movie...never thought of it like that but that is a good way of putting it, thanks

I have spent so much time trying to recall my childhood. It seems like 95% of all memories are gone from when I was born till about 12 years old. I know my childhood was less than normal, and still have trouble fully admitting I was abused, but I do have this quick glimpse flashes almost like a...
