@Gia1019 thank you for your prayers. Maybe we can work through it I really don't know. There is nothing wrong with mother, she works full time and could easily live on her own. She gave up her apartment to help my sick sister but my sister made no effort for my mom to move in. I did not want her...
I know that these questions cannot be answered by anyone here but...
Why did my Mom say it was ok for my cousin to hurt me? I told her that he put his hand in my panties. She said that is ok, he is just a curious boy. He told me no one would believe me. He said I could not cry or I would get...
I am so sorry about your Dad. You are not a burden and I really hope that you will let us support you. For those of us that have not lost our father's or either parent we can still be a good ear for you. (((Hugs)))
Thanks guys. I feel like I am looking my mind. I am going to try these suggestions. I cannot be in the dark, I have the tv on and a night light. I just panic in the dark.
I am so frustrated!!! I just want to get some sleep. I fall asleep and feel people touching me and I feel someone whispering in my ear. I don't understand what they are saying but their breath I'd really warm. I wake up scared and there is no one in my bed. I am so tired! I need this to stop. If...
@Littlebirdy44 I am so sorry!! I hope you change your mind and go to therapy to let your therapist know what happened. We are here to support you. We believe you! I know it is not the same but there is a lot of support right here you if you need us.
@Lauren Taylor I don't know your story but I wish you the very best. You have to do what is best for you. Good for you for standing up for yourself. Good luck!!
@I'smom I am working on the same thing. My therapist wants me to stop fighting back the tears and just cry but I can't. Everytime I feel like I can't fight the tears anymore I try to stop talking. I am really good at avoidance.
You can do this. One step at a time!!
@trying2movefwd I am sending g you big hugs. This s such a terrible place. I am sure that everyone who suffers from PTSD, depression, etc has felt or feels shame. We are here for you. Sometimes writing out the thoughts can help you feel relief. I hope you will let it out over and over again so...
@JadesJewel Thank you. I sent up a prayer for you. I do believe in the power of prayer so thank you so much. Had a breakdown this week and had a phone conversation with my therapist. The nightmares of me being molested are pretty strong this week. So Tuesday she wants details of these dreams. I...
Thank you so much! I wish you luck with your upcoming therapy session. You are a very strong individual. You will succeed with your EMDR and we will be here for you as you travel this journey. (Hugs)
Thank you! I hope that you get some relief soon. I am feeling a little better. I had therapy today which is always super hard for me. It was completely a waste of time because I did nothing but babble about things with absolutely no value.
You are not alone...we can only get better now, right!!?
@Astrid_Shadow I am sorry you are struggling with nightmares. I too am having this same issue. It is 5:42 am and I am listening to the rain. Unfortunately, I have nothing I can offer you other than understanding and support. I hope that you find relief soon.
I feel safe in my bedroom but not exactly in my home. I have checked all of my doors and windows to make sure they are locked. I have also locked my bedroom door. Thank you for your kind words!
I am not sure I was diagnosed maybe 2 Months or so ago and I am learning that depression is part of it. The only change is one of the guys that abused me is now out of prison.
I am just sad today. It is 2:00 pm and I am still in bed. I cannot bring myself to function. My daughter is 16 and she perfectly fine with staying in bed. I have to work at 7 but I want to call off. Tears are building in my eyes I just can't adult today at all.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
I just found out one of my abusers has been released from prison. He was a boos that would make me give him blow jobs or threaten to fire me. He went prison for child abuse and he has been released. I know the chances of me seeing him are slim but my mind and racing heart don't care about that.
