Hello JennaWadde99: I'm sorry you had these distressing experiences. I don't think it would be appropriate for me to offer an opinion with regard to what you experienced. But I'm glad to read you will be seeing a therapist. Having the opportunity to sort this out, over time, with a skilled professional is the way to go. Just keep in mind that it takes time to work through difficult experiences such as you had. And it can take some time to find the therapist that's right for you. So if the first therapist you see doesn't seem to be working out, keep looking.

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
