Big Step

[MyStarryNight]

Okay, so I found the sister PTSD sight on the internet a couple of months ago and signed up immediately. I knew about this sight at the time as well but just couldn't emotionally handle signing up. I just signed up a few minutes ago and have to say I'm pretty proud of myself. This is a really big step for me. It's hard for me to admit that I was sexually abused. I started having flashbacks of sexual abuse a few months ago out of the blue, flashbacks to things I had never remembered before and really wish had stayed hidden away in a vault somewhere in my mind. However, now that I know what happenned to me as a kid my life as a whole makes a lot more sense. Yet, I still can't help but feel like my entire world has been turned upside down. I look forward to getting to know everyone here on the forum and learning from you all.

I can relate. I remember thinking my life made alot more sense when I realized what had happened to me. It was a relief in one sense, but I really didn't want it to be true.

Also, a few days after I signed up on this site I almost had an anxiety attack! I thought, "What have I done?" Now, however, I feel pretty comfortable with sharing on the different forums. Still a little trepidation, but getting better. Anyway, welcome! Hope to hear more from you.

Welcome to the site and well done for having the courage to sign up. I know how scary it feels to admit to being sexually abused and to type it out and hit the post button.

I'm sorry to hear you've been having flashbacks I know how scary they can be. I hope you have people to support you and help you through this. I'm still new here and still finding my way around but hopefully you will find the information and support helpful like I have.

Congratulations on taking the step to join. It might help to write down the flashbacks and the feelings, if you can do it. Writing helps me.
