Hi

I'm amelia and I'm new. I am a survivor of childhood abuse. I'm struggling with life. I have a therapist but I can't live like this anymore. I have no one, no place is safe, I can't sleep. I live with my parents but they can't talk to me, its like they blame me for everything. I cut, I self harm and I hate my life.

Hi Amy, welcome to PC. I'm so glad that you have a therapist. Is she helping? Can I ask what you have been working on with her (if you don't mind?).

Thank you all for your welcome. My therapist has started talking about the actual abuse, rather than just about bpd (I have bpd) or other issues like my self-harm. But I don't really want to go there. It's safer locked up and pushed away as far away as possible. I get triggered so badly after each session I wonder if its worth continuing. I know it is, as it will help me but things are so difficult at the moment.
Thanks for this!

This is the way to get better Amy. This stuff needs to be talked about. Have you told your T how difficult it has been and the difficulty that you have after sessions?

Were your parents the perpetrators of your abuse? If so, I would think the first step before you can really deal with it, is to get away from them.

So sorry you're struggling right now. pushing it in and bottling it in isn't the answer though. If you don't feel like completely opening up with you T right now, then post it here. We are all here for you and it will help you a lot.

Good luck and welcome to PC!
