I have a serious problem being alone with nothing to do because I get flooded with thoughts (I am not saying voices because that is not what I hear) like for me to eat and throw up, like I want to be dead, like I want to be loved and held. I feel each thought belongs to a different personality. I can definitely feel a child part. I can even sit down and watch a TV or a movie because they are like whispers driving me mad. I have problems concentrating enough to study. I have to keep trying to distract by coming here or googling stuff.

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.
