I am so sorry for what you have been through. If we are using labels, I am a Christian lesbian which really just means to me that I am spiritual, and believe in a higher power who just so happens to be the Christian God. My wife and I are both members of a congregation who only cares about...

That is helpful thank you Digz. I've been feeling quiet and scared lately. But flooded with thoughts, memories and such. Sorry if it wasn't good timing for me to ask while you were sharing something specific.

I feel helpless tonight. Having bad dreams that I'm trying to save someone and can't get to her. I was sexually abused as a child but all I can remember from it was a flashback I had of my fathers face and feeling his fingers inside me when I was in the bath. Everything else around his face was...

Well said Simply Simon.

what about helping others like me with things you might to talk about with the people whom you will accept those parts of you too, like others with trauma who may need to hear it more than those who don't. Just some thoughts.

Thank you for sharing. Seems like I could talk to you right now to learn a thing or two. I have been feeling like I can't share that dark side of me truly with others. So with what you are saying, does this mean that even if I am able to eventually share more, that others won't really want to...

I was thinking the same thing. I Say yes to Phil Coulson

definitely counts as trauma you experienced too from witnessing trauma. Sorry you went through that. May want to see a therapist, could help to talk about it more with a professional. Thank you for starting here and sharing.

I'm sorry your going through this. I dont have advice. Wanted to say I too feel similar at times, alone, burdened, confused about similar things. Thinking about you right now and hoping relief for you.

I would paint my walls and buy new curtains too, along with what everyone else said. Or cover your walls with tapestries, something that can bring you feeling at peace in your room. Your surroundings do really help. You can get through this, it's not minor, it's hard work bit worth the work.

I'm glad you made a decision, you can relax now about that now, just want to say I would listen to your story. That's all.

you said it tho exposure is key for me too but here were all anonymous so I don't have to see you everyday at work for example knowing you know something very private about me. What a word exposure, I want to rip that word apart, make it less scary. I want to expose that word! Lol

Anxiety and panic is hard. I'm sorry for what you are going through right now. I like to go somewhere else in my head. Example, play my water fall or rain music, feel my smooth rocks or sand in my hands, visualize a relaxing peaceful moment or memory, describe out loud how exactly all of my...

I Accept hugs! Thanks and yes I have taken pics, sometimes that's been helpful to look at during any hard time really. I love being creative. Also I usually end up doing it facing myself not others so that I am looking at my drawing or written words and not so much the other way so others can...

Last time I felt similar I drew on myself and felt like I was designing tattoos that I may or may not want to get someday, all, with a black marker like initial ink would be, that's the only color that I can do. Words have mostly been helpful although I have a thing for suns, moons, stars, so...

How are you Smile? Hope safe. I'm sorry your going through this. I work for homeless veterans so my mind tends to go there first. There may be places to call, maybe to help you come up with a plan but I don't know, the county I live in is one of the best for help from a multiple assortment of...

Gypsy Her name was Rose A natural nurturer remembering simpler Times

help would i need it if you let me be me

feeling like yesterday in my mind sounds familiar. Damn, you are a survivor! Eight years later I'm glad your talking to us. I'm sorry that you had that horror. I'm amazed at your resilience and even the most resilient need to not be strong all the time. It makes me sad that people hurt you so...

if your working with any agency at all let them know too just incase they have any good referrals. Also in my experience United Way has helped. And commissioners, state reps, or if you have been in the military...every county should have a county VA rep to help you with prioritizing your...

that makes so much sense, thank you digz

I am a lesbian married to a women with a transgender daughter. Almost 8 years now and still madly in love with my wife. Very huge at supporting me. Our son and I have mental health diagnosis and she is amazing with both of us.

wow I can't believe what has happened. My boss tells me he was up all night over this and has discovered that he takes things personally before he even knows what other peoples intentions are and reacts. He want to work on this and wants me to give him a chance. Wow. Cool. I really love my job.
