Hey girl

I say this to everyone who has had abuse in there lives, I may have said this to you already ?

Anyways- you should seek therapy, no one can deal with abuse by themselves. I have a friend who was abused 20 years ago, she never seeked therapy until recently, and she wishes she got it sooner. Not dealing with the trauma can cause depression among other things. Pushing it back and trying to forget and move on with your life will only work for so long... before you know it'll come rushing back at you , it could even take longer, but the past will always come back up until you've healed.

It took me about a year to tell my psychiatrist about the abuse I went through at the hands of my ex... and now that i've talked about it , so many things are much clearer, I have a better understanding about why things happened after that.

I rarely have flashbacks, my body memories are rare, I no longer have nightmares and daydreams, and since i've dealt with it and the other assaults I went through I feel new, I feel empowered, and I know now that I will never let anyone hurt me again. I couldn't say that a year ago..

It took me from the age of roughly 18 to now (24 in roughly a week) but i've almost completely healed, and know this is a wonderful feeling...

You deserve that....
