Question Jul 27, 2010 at 05:49 PM
  #1
I wanted to discuss some issues that I still deal with after years of mind games and sexual abuse. I do not want to be graphic or anything just want to write enough of my story to be able to discuss how it effects my way of thinking now and how I am trying to overcome and live with this.
After I wrote it, I wondered what is appropriate.

You're free to share your experience/s. Sometimes just a vague mention of SA doesn't help at all. Personally, the more clear I am, the more anxiety it stirs up inside of me. Anxiety out of fear that I'll be viewed as a sick witch. Fear that I don't fit in. All kinds of fears! For me, that fear is eased by the many supportive responses that I get. It really has helped me!

You may want to click on that red circle with 2 black lines crossing through, to warn others (just in case). It's hard for me to guess what is or isn't triggering, better safe than sorry. That's my perspective anyway!

Gentle hugs to you dandelionfalls

This ^ sounds like it would be a great thread.

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