(((((((((Angela))))))))))Welcome to the Forum

I very much know that feeling of it "just won't go away". And that part about "a normal person would have laughed it off" about that guy saying that was where he brought his last victim...I saw nothing funny in it, in fact, I probably would have jumped out of the car!

I was not much older than you when my walls came crashing down, and being no stranger to therapy, I had no idea why now! PTSD not addressed by a specialist or addressed the proper way is truly not addressed, I'm finding. I was diagnosed 10yrs ago, finally! However, taking it seriously was another thing. Of course, I had discussed some of my abuse but not to the extent I'm seeing my Trauma Therapist takes me now.

I had no idea that ALL these symptoms going on with me do add up to PTSD, nobody seemed to get it. I certainly did not. You are going forward now and this is a very good thing, though it feels horrible and looks worse.

You are not alone,
peace and healing,
Rain

Good Morning Kuchulu. It's a new day. Might be time to see a therapist again. Worked great last time. Just need a little top up, refill that tank. Thanks for sharing. I start therapy tomorrow. It's my first try at getting better. I hope they parade me around, using me as the example of how good it can get. You need to get back there.

As far as a Burka goes, hiding your pain isn't going to help. Living in hate isn't going to help. And pretending that it isn't real,,,Dito. I have learned to hate. Burka's represent all that is wrong in this world to me. Do not believe that it is a safe place inside that shroud. They are in there because of hate and fear. Don't try to be them, pity them. Learn to love yourself, and show the world they couldn't break you. We all need to learn to trust again. It might take me awhile, but therapy starts tomorrow. I will learn to love again.

Kinda know what you are going through. Am 36 yr old and still dealing with drugging/gang rape from college. I knew some of the men, but most I did not. I felt so powerless, not being able to fight like I know I can. I think that was the worst part.

Keep your chin up, and don't let them win by them controlling the rest of your life.

Always looking for internal peace . . . . contact me if you wish;)

Hi Angela,

Taking care of your self is brave. You should be proud of yourself.
