I have been prescribed sertraline haven’t even picked it up yet actually and it’s been a whole week, I’ll go get it Monday. I am scared to take it, I’ve taken a range of antidepressants and antipsychotics over the years and the side effects are always so tough. I’m also a daily smoker as well, I...
It’s 100% not your fault at all
You have made it clear that you didn’t want anything to happen and the fact he keeps going at you and you gave in anyway means he sexually assaulted you and consent wasn’t given at all it seems quite clear.
If you’ve had issues with this person in the past over...
And what about the ones posting stories saying they have committed crimes on other people? Is that allowed? Because I have come across quite a few of them posts barely been on this site for a week.
How can perpetrator's and survivors be under the same thread discussing issues under section such...

CSA means any contact or non touching is classed as csa because it’s illegal and it’s a crime and the adult knows what he’s doing by subjecting a child to that, they may not know what is going on but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t affect the child, that is desensitising a child.

I have so many moods swings all the time mostly ranging from pissed off and extreme anger to tears. If I’m happy I have that mood of euphoria and then anger and then tears.
It’s hard to go through my day easily as anything is possible to ruin my day and create a mood swing in me. It’s hard to...
For about 8 years I would say
one day I was just minding my own business I wasn’t really calm that day pretty sure I might’ve hit my head and was worried for getting a concussion but apart from that.
I had my dinner and was about to go outside and then all of a sudden I got an electric shock...
I feel your pain it’s awful, feeling like you just fit in anywhere and just come across the worst type of people time and time again will make it feel like we are the problem. It doesn’t help other people say I’m the problem. I think we just have to be strong and not let others sway us with...
Yeah as in I don’t know how much longer I have, suicide ideation if you will.. I just always feel like I am running out of time and my life is passing by while being in this rut all the time it’s like I am stuck, almost as if I am wasting my life away feeling terrible for what has happened.
I...
I think diagnosis are very complicated. When I was 18/19 about 11 years ago they gave me many diagnosis from depression all the way up to bpd, I didn’t feel like they knew what way they could help me, just tell me to sit with a psychologist or take medication was mainly my options then, I smoke...
That’s great and the story you have just shared is many stories I have read from survivors. I just wish that road of recovery seemed easier to get on to. You did therapy for 5 years that’s a long time and I know it takes long but sometimes I’m not sure how much time I have left.
I’m so glad...
There’s children experimenting and then there’s child on child sexual abuse, I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and well I know the differences compared to these people fully admitting raping and sexually assaulting other children that’s definitely not children experimenting, feeling bad or...
I am at the point in my life where I don’t feel like I can be in a romantic relationship with anyone, after my last relationship broke down after one night he decided to sexually assault me after an argument, took me a whole year and half to leave him, so clearly my skills for keeping myself are...
I’m a sexual abuse/assault survivor
I’m currently undergoing treatment for ptsd for it, they seem to think I may have it.
I can’t help to notice an awful amount of posts of confessions on this page for crimes they have committed, think that’s a bit beyond being a safe place for no judgment but...
Recently I have had a lot is, nightmares where I’m screaming at others and expressing how I’m feeling but can barely speak because my voice is breaking along with the emotion of basically crying going with it all at once. It’s mainly directed at my family, I guess since being in therapy I...
I was a long term marijuana user and then I stopped smoking for about 5 years as I was having stomach issues that I thought was related so I stopped. Then one day I just had the urge and tried it again and I didn’t have bad side effects so I’m not sure what’s going on but it’s been fine.
It’s...
I have started to feel like the people around me are disappearing, sometimes I’m in a room with people and although they aren’t actively engaging in convo with me, I start to zone out so bad that they don’t even seem as if they’re next to me anymore. Then I attempt to start to talk to myself and...
That’s the thing I don’t really think I have learnt all that much coping strategies from him at all, I just feel like we talk and it’s goes round and round. He says we make progress but I’m not really sure I see it. So is probably for the best it’s come to an end. I have said to him many times I...
I have been with my therapist for about 6months every week, I’m starting to find it taxing, kind of feels like a relationship? I guess it is in some ways. But I want out at this point, I don’t know why but anything about having to see someone on a weekly basis really angers me.
At one point...
