The 'feeling like crap' is feelings from the past... You can't go through those experiences and not feel that way. Just realising that these emotions don't belong to you- they belong to the abusers- makes a big difference. It has for me anyway! The abusers told me all sorts of lies that I owned...

Thank you! It's great :)

I'm interested.

I get it! I'm angry at those people too! I feel furious that they feel entitled to offload all their BS, but when we need to talk and get stuff off our chest - instead of them finding value in our experiences and offering emotional support (like I do for them all the time- and I'm sure you do...

I think there is a couple of things you can do... Is your dentist female? 1. I would talk with the dental clinic first- if you can have a talk with the actual dentist, all the better! You don't need to tell them exactly what happened, but I think it will help a lot to tell them that you have...

There aren't enough out there! I'm glad you're doing this :happy:

Hi Fire and Ice, The uni should have a disability services/counselling centre. Either one of these can help you with this. They will know the best way to approach this! They get paid to help people like us with these issues :happy: and they're generally good at it!

I think you're doing something about this at the right time! I'm just SO PROUD of you for standing up for your Grandfather ...it sounds like the kind of thing he would have done before Alzheimers- he would have stood up for someone who was being taken advantage of! You're uncle sounds like he...

Thanks @Abstract !!! I totally get the zombie mode- That's a great way of explaining it! This was the first time I tried fighting the zombie mode... Maybe I need to give myself a break and stop being so hard on myself. Fighting was a big deal!!! @Mayday - you're right! It really is HUGE...

Thanks @SweetLullaby - it is a HUGE feat to be that low and not turn on myself. @Nebulustrix YES! Love to read- thanks for the recommendations!!! Sounds like exactly what I need!!! @Abstract I think those FOOKING morons should all be locked up together so the can strangle each other - if...

I don't think you're over the top at all!!! They need to be aware! I'm really glad you have the insight to keep them away from potential family members that may hurt them... That's where most of the abuse tends to happen, it's rarely the stranger- but family, or a good friend of the family. I...

Thanks- you were right. I'm high on Xanax :happy: a bit spacey... Is it more clear now?

I understand. When I behaved in similar ways, I was desperate to escape the overwhelming hurt I felt from being sexually abused. I have mild brain damage from the abuse I endured growing up. I found out when I went to see a functional neurologist. It was so comforting to finally understand what...

Today I went and spoke with my ex therapist. It was healing to discuss why I stopped wanting to have sessions with him and to hear him say he was sorry for the part he played in the miscommunication we had. The miscommunication happened at an extremely vulnerable point in my life... I was...

Ok!!! Meds aren't right for you then! It's ok- everyone's body is different. I wonder if meditation will make a difference? I found this the other day- the alternate nostril breathing is really helpful!!!http://theknowing1.wordpress.com/panacea/ I think you need to completely indulge in self...

If you're able to, I'd go see a naturopath. Ask to get a hair analysis done. Naturopaths are able to detect things that other specialists (doctors, psychiatrists etc) can't. They have a good knowledge of chemical 'recipes' your body needs to make in order to function more effectively, and they...

My first thought was EMDR... It's probably not as daunting as you might think it is. It will help your mind to process those feelings differently. I know this is incredibly hard for you right now!!! And breaking your foot as well!!! But this anger is all valid and it's really healthy you're...

CONGRATULATIONS @TheBubzilla !!!!!! :cp: I admire you so much for your courage to make this choice!!!!! And I'm SO excited for you!!! Your life is going to change in so many ways for the better :happy: you and your husband and children can begin to create the life you deserve and leave all the...

I started remembering and healing after I got raped and pregnant at 17. My family has been incredibly cruel to me for facing the truth and not playing the forgetting game with them, but I haven't ever regretted my choices to move forward with healing. I understand why you're reverting back to...

Really likening your new frame of mind :happy: that kind of resilience will help you find worthwhile friends!!! Change, as well as coming to a new understanding can be so painful!!! But now you're on the track to a better, more fulfilling life- I just know it!!!

I know that feeling!!! It just means you need to take time to self care and get LOTS of rest- indulge yourself!!! You WILL heal and move forward!!!

Heeeey soul sister!!! :happy: YES! You're right she's a raging bitch!!! If she was as strong and as dedicated to recovery as you are she would take responsibility for the effects of abuse and she would spend a hell of a lot more time in hospital than you ever have!!! Instead she blames...

I think he has been very lucky to have you in his life! You sound like a caring and patient person. By what you've described, I really don't think that he is capable of being in a relationship right now. Do you really want to keep investing in a relationship that doesn't satisfy your needs? I...

Hi, hope you find the help you need here!

I'm so sorry things are so tough for you right now!!! I'm glad you have a supportive neighbour! It's really hard when you're just feeling so vulnerable already to have to deal with major changes - like having to change your psychiatrist. Is there anyway you can get another one quickly... So you...
