Thanks all for the input. I wrote out one of my main traumatic memories the other evening, but I had a bad day with alot of triggers the following day and it all just became too much too real. But I wrote an email to someone (didn't send it) giving an overview of my trauma in a really clear...

Has anyone else written about their traumas? My memory is hazy at times and I feel like I want a clearer picture. I also want to get it all out. I am concerned I could be making myself more upset, I still don't have a therapist maybe they could help with this? Or am I just dwelling on the past...

I am struggling a bit at the moment, I was anorexic on and off for years then I began binging as a coping mechanism but I can't handle the feelings of guilt, disgust,and shame so then I purge in some form or another. I find it so confusing that even tho we know its not healthy it soooooo hard to...

Hi Carmen23 I read your other post also, I am so sorry this is happening. Clearly none of this is your fault and the adults in your life have acted very poorly I often wonder if the mothers do just as much if not more damage by being enablers and keeping the abuse a secret. I can somewhat...

I'm in. Anything to counteract the vast quantity of ice cream I have consumed ...

Not sure if this helps and not entirely convinced it is all that healthy at times, but I exercise...a lot. I use to cut often when I was younger as a way to deal with emotions that I either had too much of or not enough of. I went through a particularly bad patch about 5 years ago where the...

I relate with the concept of numbing and dissociating during any sexual interaction. Unfortunately the only sexual experiences I have managed without going into full flashback believing I was being reabused have been when I am under the influence of some sort of substance allowing me to switch...

Thanks for your post. I thought I was weird and was getting really confused about what was happening to me. I don't feel pain exactly I won't go into detail but most of my flashbacks are feeling based. I don't always feel sensations alone as such but its like I feel the emotions inside me are...
