Undiagnosed Hi.. I Don't Know Why I Came Here, I Just Feel Alone

Not open for further replies.
I know what it's like to have experiences that others find unbelievable. It seems like everybody here operates by the same principal that I do, which is that it is MORE harmful to DISBELIEVE the truth, than it is to believe a lie. So, if anybody here hasn't believed me, I've not heard about it. That is probably the biggest gift I've received by others, to not have to constantly defend myself and my perceptions, and that's by a group of strangers on the internet. It's really that powerful.

I think you will find that this is a very supportive place, and willing to accept people at whatever stage they may be in healing.

have had into the comic, and make the super hero do things I wish I was strong enough to do at the time

This is actually a pretty good idea, and re-writing the ending so to speak is a fairly common and useful component of some therapy. While you might not be able to post overly graphic material, we do have an art thread that people use to express artwork that is related to their trauma also. You could get some feedback there if you liked.

Anyway, welcome to the forum. :)
 
Welcome to the forum, la vos es dues!

Your ideas of using expressive art (e.g. film or comics) sounds like an excellent. It sounds like a wonderful therapy tool. My therapist has me resolve scary memories in a very similar way with sand play or art. It really feels great to be able to conquer your victimizers in a creative way.

Related to the question, whether or not you should see a doctor, I would definitely say yes. However, definitely take into consideration your fears and past experiences. Do you maybe have a family doctor whom you trust? They may be able to help you and provide you with trustworthy referrals.

Wishing you the best on your journey!
