What if they don't accept me coz of that? It wasn't my mistake that the event happened, I was only 16 something, and I grew up totally sheltered, so much so that i didnt know what periods were till I got them, so I didn't completely understand until it was actually happening. I am just scared of their reaction.
Hi Samantha,

You might want to have a look at the book "The Body Keeps The Score" to help understand trauma and the effect it might be having on you. There are lots of very healing healthy things you can do for yourself. Ever hear of Yoga? (haha....sorry, I know you're in India!!) My own best advice for depression is here http://forums.psychcentral.com/4262681-post105.html .
