I don't really have a lot of time to explain but I wanted to quickly ask, is there any way of remembering repressed memories? A lot of people say hypnosis but I just can't afford that, is there a way to do it yourself?

As people heal, memories can come out because they come out when you are ready for them (when you are safe and can handle them). Are you in therapy?

No, I don't know how to get into therapy now I'm over 18, before everything was free now it seems to cost money which I don't have, I don't really have anyone I can talk to.

You are a survivor of abuse & it is playing havoc with your body mind & soul.Why do you want to dredge up more painful memories?Wouldn't it be better if they were allowed to remain in your unconscious?
It is just a thought.I mean instead of reverting back to an unpleasant past if you concentrate on moving ahead-as you are doing through pursuing your hobbies-will it not be a more satisfying occupation for you?You have survived bad times & that is no mean achievement.You will be happier if you bury the ghosts i think. Look up this link if you like http://jeeteraho.blogspot.in/2011/03...d-it-fast.html Take care,all will be fine.

How can I move on when I have nitemares every single night about something I didn't even know existed. How can I move on knowing that the people I once thought cared about me are to this day still lying to me!

You have looked into therapy as an adult through the NHS?

Many people here get therapy as an adult through the NHS. I think that the gateway is through your doctor.

I went to the emergency room three times in a week because my anxiety peaked when a past abuser moved to my home town. Eventually they referred me to a local mental health clinic that only charges $2 per visit. Its been wonderful help. Im in a small town, if we have it im sure tour location will too. Try talking to the hospital or a local free clinic, the resources are out there you just have to look.
And i dont recommend digging up your past just yet, especially if you dont have a therapist to help you sorth through it, theres a reason you dont remember |

Also, you might try looking to see if there is a local CMHC (community mental health center). I have found a few for friends just by Googling "Community mental health center in 'your city and state'". They often do a sliding scale fee based on your income. Universities often have counseling centers as well, so if you live near a campus, you may want to call there or look on their website to see if you could get services through them (the counselors there are usually master's and doctorate students in pursuit of some sort of degree in psychology).

Oh, and some private practitioners offer a sliding scale as well.

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