I feel so lonely .... I suffer with depression, I have been getting better, but something happened very recently that has set me back.
I had a very difficult childhood, I don't want to say too much just yet, just need a friend or two I suppose, someone who went through the same .... abuse, physically, emotionally and sexually .....  pastimes

Well pastimes,,you won't be lonely here.
There are many of us who were visisted by various forms of trama during our "pastimes" and work hard on looking at them,,processing the feelings that those moments have birthed,,take from them what we need,,and leave the rest. You are among great company here,,pull up a chair,,the fire is warm, the coffee is hot and the folks are welcoming... Take your time,,,sharing is not an event but a process... Lenny

Hi Pasttimes~
I am sorry your going thru such a rough time right now. And having things added to it doesnt make it eny better. The more you do talk about it and get it off your shoulders the better you will feel. Carrying it around all on your own just makes it worse. I've been where you are. I know how hard it is. And I can tell you if your willing to work hard at it( which I know it doesnt seem fair since we were the ones violated) things will get better. Are you seeing a therapist? If not please try to . The best thing to do is to find one that deals specifically with these issues your having. And also with self esteem. Which I know can plumet when one has been violated this way. Please take care and let us know how your doing. ((((((((((((((Pasttimes)))))))))))))))))) Safe hugs if you like Hugz Bethy

Hi again pasttimes,
Don't forget that there's also a Survivors of Abuse forum that you can post in if you want to increase your chances of talking with someone that's been through it. We'll obviously love to help too, but might as well try both. http://forums.psychcentral.com/postl...t=&Board=abuse

thankyou so much for replying everyone I am in therapy,a good therapist, but does anyone else feel they may be taking so long to feel even a little better? I know the trauma I suffered affected my personality and I tend to live only half a life ...... therapy has been around 7 months now,some daysI still feel like I just want to give up..... not good I know. I feel very paranoid about putting down stuff about me as I've always been doubted by family. I'm scared this will happen again, even though my abuser is on the run from the police and others have issued statements against him.
Maybe I just came here to release some of it .... but I don't want to waste anyones time or be so depressing. sorry pastimes

We're here to hear you - don't worry about us. Keep the therapy up. 7 months seems like a long time, but I'd guess you were hurt for longer than that. It might take a bit more time.
*hug* we're all in this together =)

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