I am diagnosed with schizophrenia so people tend to listen to me for a moment, then dismiss me because they feel i am just delusional or that i hallucinated the abuse
It makes me feel a little less like sharing with other people when that happens I want to be able to talk about it openly someday without being scared or getting anxious but apparently I don't think that will ever happen

I don't have schizophrenia, but I have been abused in all manners as a child, and most abuses as a adult. I am 51 now, and I don't want the rest of my life to be as bad as it has been, so I am finally working on my issues. You as a person don't need ppl to believe you. You know what happened in your life. Don't let others stop you from stopping you from trying to make your self the person you want to be. As far as a therapist, keep trying, you will find that one that will help you. I have been going to see the T I have now for over a year, and it took me at least 6 months to decide that she might help me, and she does, You just have to keep looking, and when you find a t, you have to give it time. My T still doesn't know most of my life, and may never, but we understand each other. And that is what is important, trust, and understanding. You may never be able to fully talk about your abuse to normal ppl, but keep in mind they haven't gone through what you have, so they wouldn't understand fully anyway. Please don't let those ppl stop you from getting the help you want.
