Sufferer Sexual And Domestic Abuse Survivor.

Not open for further replies.
Hi everyone.
I'm 24 years old, I live in Europe and I am a survivor of sexual and domestic violence from a 3 year relationship with my ex husband. I've been out of the abuse for almost 3 years now, but I've just started going to therapy since up till now I've tried really hard just to deny how serious the abuse was. It's 3 years on, but the ptsd symptoms seem to be increasing instead of decreasing so I decided it was time to finally do something about it. I have a wonderful little daughter to raise, and I owe it to her. I've been skulking around this website for a month or so now, and finally I've decided to sign up and share a bit myself. Most things I haven't shared with anyone beyond one trusted friend, so very few people know the extent of the abuse, I guess I'm scared of being judged and misunderstood. Any support here will be really appreciated, as i'm still having a really hard time dealing with all this.
Thank you wonderful people. You're all amazing and an inspiration. Thanks for reading this.
 
Welcome. I'm so glad you sought therapy. I was symptomatic for quite some time before I also realized something was very wrong and got into therapy, which got me to a psychiatrist as well. I wish you healing.
 
Thank you everyone.

P.s - how in the world does the ''quote'' thing work? I totally can't figure it out. And is there a way of responding to a specific comment instead of to the whole thread? Thanks. Trying to figure out how this forum works.

Post this question to the Help Desk and they will be better able to explain it to you.

PS: Welcome to the forum.
