So, I haven't been on this site in a long while... Sometime within the last year I was on a different PTSD website and I kind of had a negative experience with the admin (they were incredibly homophobic...) and I kind of just shut down to the PTSD community all together after that.
Anyways... Things have kind of been going downhill for me and I've become increasingly agoraphobic and I think trying to reconnect with this community might help. Especially on this website because everyone always seemed so warm.
I'm not sure if an admin will read this or if I should make a separate post at the help desk (if that's still a board here? it's been a while lol) but concerning my old account, Sharky: I don't care about getting that account back, it would be too much of a hassle - the email I'm pretty sure it's linked to has been frozen because it got hacked. Also, I'd actually prefer if my old threads stayed up (at least for right now) because I was keeping a trauma diary and I'd like to go over it and save things I wrote (about my actual trauma, which is incredibly taxing to write at all) before starting a new trauma diary on this account. I remember writing a few crappy things on my old one and I think it might be good to try to start fresh.
Ummm other than that, you can call my Shark or Ash(that's actually my name). I'm 22 and my trauma happened when I was 13. I am not currently seeing a therapist.. I'm having trouble just getting out the front door because I still live in the same small town that my abuser lives in and I thought he was in prison until I saw him at a gas station over the summer. I'm terrified of running into him again, and my other abuser lives 30 minutes away but he sometimes comes to my town. I am also not currently in a healthy or safe environment, but that's really all I feel comfortable saying..
