How were you abused? Who abused you? When did it happen? It doesn't matter if it was a long time ago -- if you were abused, it MATTERS. Abuse follows you into your adulthood, and it doesn't go away until you DEAL with it and FACE it. So you should talk to a therapist, and learn the best methods of dealing with the abuse.
Can you see a therapist? Can you afford to? It would be the best thing for you. If you have insurance, they will pay for it. But you NEED to get this out with a therapist. Or you can talk about it here, but we aren't trained in this kind of thing. YOu can get it OUT here, but we can't give you the methods you needs in order to deal with it.
Please see about getting a therapist, ok? But we'll ALWAYS be here to listen -- we'll never leave. God bless and keep us posted, ok? Big hugs, Lee

This was clearly an emotion regulation issue, Leed.
Also, if you will please read my posts you will know that I cannot afford therapy, nor are there any indigent centers in my area that are open now cauase of budget cuts. Also therapy does not work for everyone.
Also, I have been pronounced "untreatable" *by* the mental health system.
If you cannot deal with my issues here you don't have to respond. I know you are trying to help. Please just let me process this stuff, okay?
Maybe I need to be clearer about what i need when I post.
I don't want advice. Only identification. NO one here, not even me, is qualified to tell anyone what they NEED to do. (Just my opinion but one I hold to, first and foremost, in peer counseling)
Identification in a group.
That's what helps me most.
