I hate it when people say we need to be over it.

Esp when we have not even touched the issue or tried to work on it, whether from lack of support, not knowing what was going on, etc.

I am an abuse survivor since ag 4 and people say I need to be over it or get over it.

Not that simple.

I have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and I am also "triggered" even now and I am 44.

I am working on not being ashamed of my condition. It was not my fault. I am responsible for dealing with it now, but I was not responsible for being traumatized. And it can be dealt with, but it does take time and patience and a very safe place to process the experiences.

Do not be ashamed.

I am glad you talked to us.

You are okay.
