Every morning when the alarm goes off I am depressed I woke up alive. I drag myself down stairs to get coffee and try to think of things I am grateful for to help me feel better about having to leave the house and go to work.
There are days I feel like I just can not do it and then there are those days that I am more resilient.
I do not even have depression and that is how I feel.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
