Sufferer Ptsd/sexual Abuse/depression/chronic Pain

[Duhibrokeit]

I am 32, single male that was sexually abused by my aunt from 5 to 8 years of age. I was 18 when I told my parents, my mom questioned me. My step dad thought I was only trying to get attention. My uncle has been the only one who has believed me since finding out. I am also dealing with a mid life crisis of having 3 level fusion on my back this past year. Giving up a career that I love, and possibly not being able to work again. Things seem to never go my way. I try to think positive, but in the end I always prepare for the worst and that allows me to always be okay when things aren't.

Welcome to the Forum Duhibrokeit,

My uncle has been the only one who has believed me since finding out.

Send him my luv will you! I find being believed most helpful and so already I like this guy. Outside of this, I hope he is a decent man and uncle.

Please take it easy, and take care!

Duhibrokeit, I wish you well and I'm sorry you suffer(ed) those abuses.

The stress from the trauma we carry inside us will make us sick. Like other people with trauma that I know I had to remove female organs. For females it seem to really run havoc with our hormones.

I recently joined only ran into this forum by chance. There is so much stuff to read here
that is good for me. I dont feel so weird and different any more.

Welcome!

I really get this feeling. I do this too. I've come to the belief that expectations = disappointments so if I don't have expectations that something will happen or should happen, then I'm not disappointed. I'm not quite sure how to change that or if I even should.

I'm so sorry for your childhood. My heartbreaks for the child who is molested and abused. I am glad that you had SOMEONE who believed you and who still does.

Are you seeing a therapist or counselor?
