Hi everyone, I'm new here and just started getting therapy for the first time in my life as well. I was molested on one occasion as a child, and I didn't even realize It was abuse until recently because it didn't feel traumatizing at the time. I feel like I shouldn't be here because it wasn't that bad. And he wasn't a family member either. Also I have a great family and life. So on one hand I feel like what in the world am I doing here? haha.
Well I also have been a little messed up ever since. Absolutely terrified of totally unrelated things. Binge eating problems. Very uncomfortable in my body. Anxiety. And ever since I talked to the therapist for the first time recently I have been dissociating almost all the time (I think) . I Feel my head tingle and it gets very heavy and hard to stay awake all of a sudden and I feel very far away and numb.
I guess now that I've written it out it's easy to see that of course it would have some impact on me despite not feeling bad. But still I feel like I am intruding on a group of people who have so much more legitimate of problems than me.
Im just looking for something to do until my next therapy session. Once a week doesn't feel like enough.
