You are with people that understand, and can relate to where you are at. So, no need to apologize. Sounds like your sister, isn't nice at all. I too, know what it is like to reach out, and get the response like you have. It does hurt, beyond belief. I am so sorry that you feel this. And the...

It's basically believing that you too, deserve to be treated with respect, and courtesy. Not letting anyone, and I mean anyone make you do anything you don't feel comfortable doing. You have a voice, choices, and that is your right. That is true, for all of us. It's hard to get there though...

Those people didn't feel the terror that you did. It is not easy to get over something like that. Especially when, you don't have the support you need. I am so sorry for what you went through, and that it has caused you this pain. It's gonna take a lot of facing your fears, and a lot of baby...

Sounds to me, that she felt trapped and unsafe. Not you. But whatever happened to her, made it difficult for her to trust. It's called the flight or fight freeze. It makes it difficult. The more a person gets closer, it can feel overwhelming, scary, confusing, etc etc. I too have been the same...

Shoot. I definitely know what its like to fake it. I began doing that at a young age to protect myself. I knew around me, until now I wouldn't be believed. I was always the blame for everyone. I would be told to sit in a chair and have demons cast out of me. Just for showing or expressing my...

Guys we all have been hurt, or we wouldn't be on here. Does it really matter whose is worse or not? We need support, validation, understanding, and compassion. Please, let's focus on helping.;)

It's best to not ask or think the what if. It will drive you crazy. I hate it too. People like all of us survivors, are extremely strong. We just keep going, when others would give up. We are fighters and that is a blessing. I will share my story another time. I am just now focusing on me, and...

Franciemarnie, and whiteswan, all I have to say is thank you. You both struck cords of positivity. I can relate, and I am so glad yall said what you did. Hard to put what you both said, into words. Beautiful job;) my heart thanks you.

Ya. Um I'm a drama queen too. Just ask my family. It depends on your mind. Your self esteem. Your upbringing. Some trauma isn't easy. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. Those people that judge, they have no idea the intensity that comes with ptsd. You on the other hand do. We...

I blame myself too. It is not easy to explain this condition. I can't even understand it. Just know that you aren't alone, and you can only take care of you. You're doing the best you can, like everyone else. ;)

Right!! Do what I have chosen to do. Keep all negativity out of your life. You have to protect yourself.

Why the heck would your therapist want you to keep it from your mother? So sad. I am angry at your father too. My ex step father did things to me too. I can relate. Plus, my dad didn't ever protect me from lurking monsters. I hope things get better for you. I also hope that your dad comes to you...

Just me here. I totally agree. I definitely know, that that is true with me. Thank you, for confirming what I believe, to be true as well. Wow!!

Wow!! You touched my heart. In fact, I can relate to the worthless that you feel. I can relate to the no self esteem. I can also relate to wanting to believe it is all your fault. It isn't your fault. Your parents are the ones that did this. I use to protect my family as well. It was easier than...

You wake up to the same night mare Everytime. You take your meds, and they kick in. It numbs it, for the time being. That's how it is for me, at least.

I live outside Vegas. I am tired of the fight. I am exhausted from ptsd or whatever they have labeled me. What is your story. Maybe we can help eachother.

I agree. I hate when people say, "just get over it". Or, you're nothing but drama. They have no idea. It's not like I woke up when I was five and asked for men to hurt me, and to deal with much abuse and trauma trauma trauma. People act like they know or understand. The only way to know, or...

Definitely. I have all the above. You are not alone. Ptsd is lonely, and even with having this condition, it is still unimaginable. I hope your roommate grows up soon. Her tantrums are uncalled for. Tell her to take a walk and cool off. Anyways, I wish you the best. I am so sorry for what caused...

You don't let them know you are intimidated or scared. People like that get off on that type of behavior. I too, had to deal with a lot of what you mentioned. I ended up even facing my abuser and his entire family. You are afraid for every reason. I get why you are terrified. You can cry around...

Thank you. That is a great idea. ;)

Yes I am in therapy. I love him. He makes me feel safe, and totally free to be me. He is my best friend. I'm just having a very difficult time with thinking I deserve this. Thank you for the encouragement everybody.

I love this man so much. He is everything I've looked for. Now that I have found a good man and now even engaged, I am still numb. I hate how, not only the abuse I went through, but how it is hurting my relationship. It is hurting him. Now, its not just me. I have extreme ptsd from years of...

Hello junebug, thank you so much. I look forward to the support. I just need to open up to people that understand. Even if I can't right now.

Exactly. I was always so bubbly, sweet, carefree. Now I am just the opposite. It makes me so mad. All of it, is sooo much to digest..ugh..

Thank you rainy-daze. I have a wonderful boyfriend that supports me and I'm seeing a psychologist. Each day I wake up with repetitive thoughts, fear, sadness, afraid I'm going to be hurt again, I know he's out there and I remember the trauma only as if it was just a dream. I can't remember it...
