I'm a victim of lifelong rapes... Triggering Material
I never admit to this...but yes, every two years from the age of 11. And when I got old...uglier..figured it was not going to happen anymore. Turns out, I was wrong. And i'm tired. And yes, I'm bitter, angry. I don't see a future for myself. My life has passed me by in the blink of an eye and I'm no...

Welcome Chilly :) Yes...I know what you mean. I often feel as though my brain has a mind of its own. I can be fine one day, and so dark the next. I hope you feel better again very soon. Just hang in there. I have found that if I can remind myself that I may feel better in a few hours, or even the ne...

I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling, Mrs. Derby. on my off days, I really struggle to form sentences, or even to really understand what's being said to me. I guess the best advice I can give you is to not beat yourself about it. I used to really fight it, and really be angry at myself when I wa...

Sorry Mrs. Derby. You are in my thoughts. It's been a rough few days and I've been a little lost in my own thoughts. I think maybe your post is a little hard for me to respond to? I relate to it on so many levels. I can feel your pain. And my instinct is to reassure you, to sit with you for a bit. I...

Thank you, Obayan. :) I'm ok now. Or at least better? I had an appointment with my therapist today. Talked about what I'd done and everything. I'm accepting the nature of the beast for now. I know that I'll have tougher moments. Thank you to all those that responded to this thread. It was a bad nigh...

Have you tried meditation? Also, while I understand your concern with medications, they did help me for quite some time. But it just took me some time to find the right one...at the right dosage. Just a thought. For me personally, the medications stabilized everything else until I could manage. Then...

I just wanted to come back and say thank you, everyone. You did make a difference last night, and you continue to make a difference to me today. You have my word that I will stay safe. When I get triggered, I'm better at recognizing the thinking patterns. Which is why I went to the hospital for a li...

I will keep it short....
I'm a victim/survivor of CSA (hate both terminologies). Since 2008..I've pushed everyone out of my life. Not because I didn't want them in there...I was trying to protect them. I've attempted suicide a few times...and I just didn't want them to be hurt by my actions. I still struggle with letting pe...

*waving hello* to everyone
Hi everyone. I've been snooping around this site a little bit and even responded to a thread, so I thought I should introduce myself. :) I am in my early 40s, and a few years ago something happened that forced me to start dealing with my mental health, my past. I am diagnosed with major depression, ...
