    Sexual Assault Sexual Abuse Has Ruined My Ability To Enjoy My Sexuality

    Are These Legitimate Triggers?

    Well I had somewhat of a similar situation. The best thing to do that helped me was going to therapy and working on healing yourself. Excuse my anger but f*ck them. Get your health together, that matters way more.

    Are These Legitimate Triggers?

    You know what I often do feel like everything done is undermining to my emotional wellbeing. I will never trust my family greatly again and someone doesn't want to acknowledge the hurt they have cause, like you said their gestures will always be laced with emotional abuse.

    Are These Legitimate Triggers?

    Thank you. I needed to hear those words. It's hard to remind myself that it's my life, I'm an adult and I now have the power. I work at getting better everyday but it's hard doing it without stable support. I appreciate your comment greatly.

    Are These Legitimate Triggers?

    Thanks. It's relieving to know. My classes are extremely stressful and I try not to upset myself about it so much but I know dealing with ptsd makes it so much harder to be a student and not having a social support doesn't help. I appreciate the support that I have been receiving here however. I...

    Are These Legitimate Triggers?

    I 100% agree with that. I just want my anger to subside and betrayl is poison that I carry in my heart everyday because of "family". I have a hard time trusting others and that is not good for any human'spirit health under any circumstance.
