Hi I'm unsure if I'm using this right but wounds red if there was anyone who can give me a glimmer of hope....

Possible trigger:

I suffer serious ptsd from sexual child abide 5-6 from family friend then 9-14 by my step dad who brain washed me till 4 years ago.

I didn't have any memory's of the thing he he done till then and it's literally my whole life because this doesn't really cut the surface. Will I ever get better does anyone no or is it something I will just have to deal with? Xx

Hi Csatruma,

I'm sorry for all you have endured. I too am a victim/survivorfof repeated csa.

Do you see a counsellor or therapist who specialises in csa and sa? I have found this very helpful, yes vety challenging, but very helpful.

I wish I knew the answer to your question, for you and for me and all the others suffering out there. But I do know that there are people out there who know how to help, who are trained and skilled in this area of recovery and healing.

Working through the trauma that caused PTSD is a long process, and requires expert help. There is no cure, no. But with time there is life.

IDK if it's worth it to you, to embark through the dark stuff if you can find a life now...to some extent? It takes a long time... I was injured in 1986 and yet I still battle the PTSD. I know Vietnam war vets who still battle the PTSD. My dad died at age 84 and was still battling "combat fatigue--shell shock" and he wasn't even in the middle of it all....
Of course, my own story is the opposition to my healing STILL surveil me, still threaten me etc., so in a sense the trauma changed from the near death injury and battling the physical chronicity of it, to battling the opposition who continue to stir the pot.

You can have a life where dealing with the trauma is not the first item of the day.
