Hi I go by Luna. I was always a really happy person and up until I turned 29...
Shit hit the fan!
Within a few months since my birthday, memories have been coming to me. AWFUL memories.
I am fresh. In the midst of re-living the trauma, and I do not know what is the best way to heal, but I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT! So, like I said, Trigger warning. Ive gone through it all!
This is what haunts me:

ONE
When I was little about ages 5 to 10, I was molested by my 3 older cousins... almost weekly.
I liked it, and when I re-tell the stories, which sound like remembering sexy kinky fantasy to me, my friends have told me "Hey, you were molested" which I would reply to with "No way! I was having fun." However it set the tone of what was normal for the rest of my life, and lived in emotional pain and anxiety, obsessed with sex, addicted to say the least.

TWO
When I was about 11, I touched my brother inappropriately once. I perpetuated sexual abuse, and I feel like a monster. We never played again. But because he was younger than me, I feared to have molested him...Even though he was only a year younger.

THREE
When I was 18, I was given alcohol and coerced to huff poppers. I was raped that night by a man in his 40 or 50s and maybe there were more people there. I blacked out and when I came to, he was forcing himself inside me. I screamed and ran away. I always thought it was my fault. And the meaning of it was that I was bad at sex because I couldn't take it and please him. Thats what I took from that experience, but never interpreted it as "I got raped, and Im suffering for it STILL"

FOUR
Around 20 years old. Another older man forced a rock of meth in to my rectum. This huge rock of meth made me high for days. I had no idea what meth was, or that I was high. All I knew was that the world disappeared along with my cognitive function. I became an animal being stimulated and used sexually by strangers. For three days I did not sleep, eat, or drink any water. I was being f*cked and raped by random people in some weird dark hotel room. I thought I was going to die.

FIVE
Ages 23 to 28. I got in to a 5 year long abusive relationship with "the love of my life." Yeah right. He was my first boyfriend and was a narcissist, and I a caring emphatic loving soul. Among the few who would put up with him and forgive his faults. I did this for 5 years. I took care of him while he used me for narcissistic supply. Meaning, he fed from my suffering. He abused me verbally, physically - he even stabbed me once, and sexually. I never knew to call it abuse. I was a devoted victim. 5 YEARS!!! And im still dreaming of him and having sexual fantasies of him. I get off to thoughts of him, and then I feel dead... or want to die.

SIX
The time I was with my ex I also began escorting. Prostituting my body. For about 5 years. I cant even start to get into this. Lets just say I did a thousand things I didnt want to do with old men, and didnt say a thing... I just did my duty and got payed. Left their room and forgot about the whole thing. Each time...It's f*cked me up

SEVEN
Im now 29... and just when Im remembering the sexual abuse and rape, and re-framing relationships as abusive... in other words as im in the midst of acknowledging my, lets call it "victimhood." Something violating to my soul happens one more time. Last night, a man pointed a gun in between my eyes, and with the help of two more kicked me to the ground and stole my phone, wallet and school backpack.

WTF
WTF
WTF

whats happening in this world?

Im only 29 but I now look like im a hundred years old... my eyes have sagged to the floor from sadness and my energy... i walk as if i need a cane and the noise of cars and phones scare me... I cant stop flinching and getting random tremors. All I want is to leave Oakland and let the war between classes and races consume everyone. Where do happy people belong? Where is paradise? I will fight to find paradise till I die.

Luna, I am so sorry you have had such a hard life and to be so young. And then everything hit at once... You are heard and supported here.... Do you have a Therapist? If not, please consider getting one.... this is too much for you to try and process alone.... but in the meantime please come here and share... we are here for you.... Do you know any meditations or grounding techniques that can at least help for a little while for you to calm down??? I feel so bad for you, but many here have similar issues and you are NOT ALONE..... others will reply.... hang on..... we are here for you.
 
Hi Luna, welcome to the forum - I'm glad you've found your way here. It sounds like things have been hard going for you for a very long time - which makes me wonder just how happy you've been when you say you've been happy all your life.

Are you in therapy just now? That would be a good place to start, look around the forum too, people here get what it's like and are brilliant at offering support.
 
Hello and welcome Russell-Luna
I hope you are safe right now where you are! Your story made my heart ache. You've gone through so much at such a young age.
I too took a long time to recognise abuse for what it was, I mistook it for love. some of us get primed for that way of thinking by our childhoods.
It's good to hear your strong desire and will to find happiness! It will stand you in good stead, and you certainly deserve to find it!
I hope you're safe and have someone to talk to today.
I'm glad you found this place and wish you much much healing!
 
Welcome, Russell-Luna. Your story breaks my heart. I've been in similar situations and, like you, told myself I was fine with it, but in the end I wasn't fine with it. Not at all. This is a good place to help your healing, but like the others, I have to urge you to get therapy. That will do the most good. Take care!
 
Luna, I am so sorry you have had such a hard life and to be so young. And then everything hit at once... Y...
Thanks you SOOO much.
Yes I have 4 therapists... really.
My regular Mindfulness based CBT once a week
My college therapist CBT every 2 weeks
Somatic Experiencing therapist will start next week
and Meloni Tonia Evan's Narcisistic abuse recovery mp3 prgram which is really good and includes meditations

Im hanging on.
I hope I can go form sufferer to Supporter soon :)
 
Hi Luna. Thanks for Sharing. While I'm sure therapy may help you in some way, you did mention leaving oakland. I'm not sure the economy is kind enough for all of us to pick up and move, but have you considered calling a church somewhere you've always wanted to visit? Maybe ask if they can help you start over? I made a similar move to leave a town full of bad memories. I met new people. Some troubled who I didn't find it healthy to associate with. But I found myself functioning better just making new memories in a town that wasn't filled with bad memories.
