Welcome to PC. Sorry to hear about previous problems you've had. I think you've made a good decision coming here. It's hard when you feel like you don't have any friends who you can turn to. I'm sure a lot of people feel that way on the boards. If you would like better support for abuse, there is a section here http://forums.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14. I hope you find it beneficial. Remind yourself that you are doing the right thing (getting medication & seeing a therapist).
