celticgirl Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi.....found this site after logging onto abuse world forums....still trying to find my way around all this at the moment.I"m a survivor of s**ual ,r*t**l and em*t*on*l ab*s* as a child and r*pe and s**ual ab*s* as an adult ...it has altered forever my view of the world.I have problems with depression,although i am much better than i was....i still get very weepy,easily stressed and panicky.I no longer have antidepressants(HOORAY!!) as they made me really ill,so i have 'natural' stuff instead.I get lots of fl*shb*cks and was diagnosed with PTSD several years ago whilst in h*spital,but this was never followed up....i have a great counsellor thankfully...the previous one who helped me hugely d**d of c*ncer,so it took me a long time to trust this one.I don't have a CPN or any other back up,but i am lucky to have a lovely partner who helps as much as she can when things get rough......Things not the easiest at the moment as coming up to anniversary of the r*pe,but slowly its getting better.Also used to s*lf h*rm a lot,but have managed not to now for a couple of years apart from the very occasional relapse.Anyway,thanks for reading all my rambling,and sending out some peace and safe hugs for all....kate x :grouphug[1]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
