I really don't have much a recollection of my past abuse. I do remember that I used to be one of the smartest and brightest children in my class. Until the abuse began. After that I became insecure and even violent. I threw sandwiches in children's faces. I even bit one boy on my school bus until he bled.
Anyway, I am 21 now and I desperately want to feel okay. I can't even explain irrational thoughts that I have. Like that my bed is a dangerous place. How I avoid sleep because I have nightmares about him. I couldn't stand living with him anymore and I ended up running away at 15. Of course I was found and escorted back home, oh I got it that night.
I came to college when I was 17 and I discovered the freedom to drink and drug all I wanted. It was easy because instead of feeling, all I did was drink and I would lose a whole day and night's worth of emotion. It was freeing. Of course, this got me in a lot of trouble as I started to fail classes and ended up in the hospital.
I am glad to say today I am working towards feeling better, and that's my story.
