content warning: talk of sex//pornography I'm not sure how to write this because since not living with my father, I have only vague recollections of what life was like with him. The recollections are sparse, but the memories of the feelings, smells and sensations are very strong. I still...

Sorry if this ends up being another long post but I'm just worried I'm not trying hard enough to survive what I'm doing right now. I don't know if I've looked into all my options. I've been trying to write out my memories of what's happened to me in the past but now that I'm away from most of...

So, I just need to map out what's in my head right now and I need reassurance that I never have to go back home again. I grew up with a father who psychologically and physically was very... aggressive and abusive. Very authoritarian and controlling. I moved out six months ago and I have no...

I spend a great deal of my day being anxious and/or depressed so I don't have a lot of time to be productive. My story I guess is irrelevant in this, but I do have pretty bad symptoms of mental illness in general. So I'm a creative person, or at least I'd like to be. But my brain is all...

I have 2 general stories to talk about and they're both to do with my dad. I think there should be a trigger warning for what I'm about to talk about-- it's mostly just really weird and gives me a lot of anxiety. 1. My dad gave me the sex talk and talks about my period. My mother never did. He...

I'm discovering that I have all the symptoms of borderline personality. I guess they can be treated as that, but I also have a lot of C-PTSD symptoms. Anyway, I think something that would make me feel better is having an identity. I know this probably sounds like the stupidest thing you've ever...

I asked a couple of people on ideas of how to feel better and ensure that I would stay on my own after I move significantly far away from my abuser. So I made a little list, and I wanted to see if anyone had anything to add to it. For reference, this is my dad-- and I'm choosing tactile things...

My last psychiatrist just kept on giving me benzos for my anxiety. Basically, my anxiety was so bad that I could go for a week throwing up all of my food. I went for about four months with really bad eating habits, and it's only now that I KNOW it's anxiety that I'm eating semi-correctly. I...

Hi! I'm fairly new to the forum but I've found amazing support here. Long story short: grew up with an abusive father, got diagnosed with bipolar at 15-- picking up the pieces with appx. $93 in the bank and $981 in debt and $700 income. Amazing right? Not asking for money, just want to lay out...

I have so many things on my mind right now and I don't know really where to begin. I wrote out my "outline" of my story, the abridged version in here. My dad is an abuser. He's actually a very classic abuser. And I never seem to escape abusers. They are everywhere and I'm sick of people...
