it started when i was 17 i got a panick attack and felt like going to die and need a doctor so bad. i've always felt there's something wrong with me and looked down on myslef and felt everyone else is somehow better than i am. Now, i'm 23 , i finished my studies two years ago and since then my life stopped, i can't work, i don't live my own life but watch others' lives and feel like i live their lives. i never felt what i wanted to do. I feel dependent and i never felt that i have the choice to do anything. i think it's related to something that happened long time ago. when i was 8 or 10 years old i was molested by a young boy that i knew and who lived near my house. My dad knew about it and he got really angry which made me think that it's my fault and that i did something wrong. and then for 2 years, i used to feel so ashamed and hide whenever i saw this boy on the street. could it be the problem that i am all confused and not confident to start my own life now?

Bluebutterfly, welcome to Psych Central(PC). Sorry to hear you suffered the trauma of sexual abuse when you were a child. That must have been painful, and complicated by the reaction of your father.

The following forums could be of interest
Survivors of Abuse - Forums at Psych Central
Depression - Forums at Psych Central
Steps to Better Self-Esteem - Forums at Psych Central

Post-traumatic Stress - Forums at Psych Central

There are many people that have endured trauma and abuse here at Psych Central and have found ways to help each other come out of their shells.

A therapist would be very helpful if this is available. Someone specializing in abuse victims would be especially helpful. But if these are not possible there are still many resources here at PC. Thanks for sharing your story.

Welcome bluebutterfly-this is a very positive supportive community & there is a lot of good info available. You might want to look into support groups in your area as well as a good therapist to help you move forward in your life. Many of us here have had traumatic experiences & you can get past this. Take care.

I know that the abuse was upsetting, but you don't have to let the past or your feelings about it define or limit you. For Decidophobia, I really recommend trying "SNAP CLUB"

Post #74 has a general plan for depression too.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
