I know some of you have told me this and I know in my head that it wasn't my fault. But I still feel so guilty.

 Idk what to say. I gues can say. I am healing slowly very slowly. And since Shawn my ex left I have been so silent. I don't talk about many of my problems. Just the ones that don't hurt. But I can't help but feel so numb most of the time. Like I'm not alive. I do have happy moments and I am thankful for life. But I guess I just haven't understand fully. I have healed mostly from the abuse. But what I haven't healed from is the breakup. I just can't ge...

 So, I have night terrors quite frequently... I wanted to post something, how I deal with them after they are over, and helpful things I have found to help them decrease.... I want to be able to have other's share how they got over them as well...  Firstly, I am going to discribe what my personal night terrors are like.  Right before I fall into REM sleep, my body starts "twitching". It's like I become super hyper-sensitive. Then images start rushing through my...

 So things were going amazing in my life. I found the "new me." However, it was all a mirage. All I am good for it being used and abused. I thought I married a wonderful man. Nope. I married a pig. I have been cheated on, caught him posting pictures of himself online for other women to look at, and now I found out that he has a picture of his "friend" in a bikini saved on his computer with a bunch of other nude women. I give up. I honesly wish somebody would just kill me. I quit my life.

God damnit i could of saved him. He could of been alive today. But no i had to be selfish. Yes he wasnt the best. But he certainly wasnt the worst. Maybe if i just helped him better called someone. Let someone know. Idk talk him out of it. I couldnt even go to see him buried. I didnt feel anything when i got the message. I just i went numb. I couldnt even speak. God im so horrible. If i just did something anything. i hope he is happy now. God knows i feel like shit. I tried i just idk i coul...

Hello, I have not been on this site in a longggg time.  I am doing "alright" I guess, I will be done with my bachelors degree next spring which is a lovely feeling.  I have met a wonderful man and I am going to therapy.  I say I am doing "alright" because I still feel like just giving up on my life (not suicide), just saying screw it sell everything and become homeless.  Why do I do this to myself everytime I am about to finish something positive I start messing up. ...

You know.... I really thought things were getting better. I mean....honestly. I have gottan so much better over the last 2 years. Im finally starting to feel like its healing.... But then I look back and see the problems that linger with me in everyday life. Things that are a direct cause of the house I lived in and the past I faced. I suffer from an addiction that causes me great shame.....one that makes me hate looking in the mirror to see the freak I have become through it all. F...

It's been along time since i've posted a message here. I've been through alot, and come to know a different me. A more positive, optimistic me. I've been in a state where my abuse was behind me for the last few years. Finally working through my first BIG struggle with it all. I've lived the last two years where my abuse wasnt all i ever thought about. And it is beautiful. However, recent issues with my littlest sister going through some pretty tough shit, my own ...

So lately it seems like the past just keeps finding a way to sneak up on me. I been feeling really down lately, depressed, moody, and everything else. Peple notice and ask questions, but me being me naturally I don't say anything. It's crazy because I thought I was over it, but it feels like it still affects  me. Is it normal to feel this way even when I've moved on, or am I still struggling?

I guess changes in life can drag everything to the surface as im having new and exciting flash backs (we all know how much fun those can be. Hello cold sweat and waking up teary). Its so frustraing as I was feeling comfterbale with me and now those old feelings have come creeping back as new memories are arising.

I just woke from a nightmare and started crying. I am begining to think that the nightmares and the pain will never go away. Its been 10 years or more since the abuse ended but I still can't stop thinking about it. It seems like a scar that just won't heal. I am getting sick and tired of all the sleepless nights, flashbacks, tears and pain!

I'm struggling this week.  Really struggling.  I feel so selfish, because I need so much support right now just to get through, day by day, and I know that my friends and family have much more important/exciting things to do than help me.  I spent an hour sobbing my heart out to my friend on the phone earlier, and it's not fair that he should have to deal with me in that state. I've decided to have counselling to help me deal with what I've been through....

Greetings fellow survivors and supporters.  It's been over a year since I've been on this site.  Believe me when I say it's not been by choice.  I have missed being connected to others who have walked the path I've walked.  There is a comfort and support that comes from being with others who understand without saying a word.  To anyone new here, welcome.  This is by far the best site for just that...support.  And venting!  I will be...

I never thought my past would hit me like a rock again. I struggled for so long to get to my point of healing, to have it end in hell. I have always protected my chldren and made sure no harm or evil would come there way. Until the day my father in law arrived at our doorstep 2 years ago. He has been in our lives for 2 years, I shared my love, my problems and my home to him. I trusted him with all my heart with my children. I never thought they were in any danger from this man. He left sudde...

A brief moment of pure happiness an excitement.. an eternity of heartbreak and pain. 5 weeks of joy, I was set on having you in my life forever. In a split second you were detached from my life, and all I can do is cry for our loss. People telling me I'm young and have many chances to bring new life to this world, if they only knew how untrue that is.. my love does not have a life time to help me concieve. I stay awake crying, wanting so bad to still feel you inside of me.. my mind refu...

Tonight my suitemates and friends, @ college, take turns coming into my room asking me to come to a brinner with them. A brinner, if you can't tell by the name is having breakfast at dinner. Anyways, while I would really like to go and hang out with them my inner child was holding me back. While I feel like I should share what he did to me there is still a part of me that is afraid of people's reactions when they find out why I am such an introvert and is afraid of being hurt again...

The park is small....and there was only a few kids there....so I sat down on a bench, and just looked around. I found my mind wandering off....going to a very dark place. The longer I was there...the more people came....and I just watched the parents and the little ones...the only thing in my heart was longing. They had what I never did....and I could...

I haven't been getting my normal 4 hours of sleep a night. I have been waking up every hour on the hour if not a few times within the hour. It has been leaving me exhausted, yet I can't sleep.

My grandmother is not well, has not been for awhile now, we are waiting for the day she passes on. My mother made huge sacrifices and relocated to be by her side. She moved homes, quit job and had to leave her family behind. I know it sounds bad, but I would do the same for her ( my mother ). My grandmother is a tough lady and has been through alot but, I was not expecting her life to be full of abuse. She told my mother awhile back her childhood/teenage years was very hard.

My dad was married to Peggy, and therefore KC (being Peggy's daughter) is my sister and Satghn (bei...

Racism is a disgusting part of our society. I have rebuked so many of my "friends" for making racist statements or actions, but I have a problem that gets thrown in my face. If you have read my story you know I was attacked and raped after I was an adult (at 23 years old). There is more that I haven't shared here, and I could use some help or advise. When I was attacked I was not able to see my attackers face,so I have gone all these years not knowing if he was still around me. The o...

My face is vacant; my eyes are abandoned of the whimsical sparkle they once portrayed. I begin to fade off into my childhood. I feel as if I am my nine year old self again. I am pette- approximately 4 feet 10 inches, weighing well under 100 pounds. He enters the room, asking if I will play video games with him. I deny the request, though my mom encourages me to go play with my big brother. As we enter the basement, my heart begins to race. This is so because I know what is to come. ...

At the end of last school year, I suddenly found I had a stalker. It took me a while to figure this out, as I'm not very observant, but after he came up to me and started rubbing my leg one day, I kind of guessed. I had several incidents with this man, most of which fall into the category "the height of creepy" one of which was terrifying. (He was angry at me.) The problem was that I'd freeze up whenever he started doing something, or even just came close to me. However, it was the...

I'm sorry, this is a bit long and rambling. I'm so tired of being afraid. I look back on my life, and there's so much fear there, it's leaking out, it's poisonous. When I was very little, even before the abuse, I was horribly, painfully shy. Afraid of people. People have always been my biggest fear, I suppose. What they're capable of. And I don't care what you're scared of, I can't imagine a fear more debilitating than people. Particularly w...

I didn't even know about it and I would not expect to read about it at my work as I drink my coffee. First I got pissed right off and sad who in fuck would leave something like this in here. Then I started to cry uncontrollably. Everyone just looked at me, nobody knows anything about me....

Asking for things (of any kind): I was raised to not ask for things, even if I really needed them. I have so many childhood memories of asking for something (a favour, something at the store, etc.) and my dad hitting me or punishing me and saying, “Don’t ask for stuff.”  After we (my mom and I) left and then met and moved in with Wayne, that mind set stayed with me. Even though he (Wayne, my stepfather) never told me “Don’t ask for stuff”, he did s...

My great-grandmother passed away a week ago today and my grandfather passed away two days ago. These were my grandmother's mother and husband. She is dealing with this harder than anyone in the family. Her and my aunt are having the hardest time dealing with my grandfather's passing because they witnessed his passing. So please keep us all in your prayers. Thank ...

I still manage to see characteristics of the people who changed my life in random people wanking down the street. I see the same eyes, same smirk, I hear someone yelling at a child and it sounds like one of their voices, I see someone with the same swagger. How do you seperate the past to the present? I can't seem to do it, even after all this time... it still hasn't gotten any easier.

It' been almost 2 months since I have been on this website. For a while, I decided to try to ignore everything that happened because I didn't think that I could continue living my life with all this junk on my mind. As many of you could probably tell me.....that never works. I know. I'm sooooo tired of all the stuff that's going on. My aunt did die. My brother did get a divorce and both are suffering, which hurts me to see. My oldest sister won't even look at me. My...

Today I got high because I felt like getting high. Afterwards I felt like shit because I told myself I would never do that. That I would never get high to mask all the pain I am in. Thought it would make the anixaty better. It didn't, made me feel worse. Then I lied to people I care about about it. I feel like shit. I regret this so much. Today was a shitty day, pardon the language. It sucked. I regret so much having to hide my struggles from people I care about. I feel worse ...

I have been having such a hard time collecting my thoughts, but i think i just need to start getting this down, and see where it goes.  I lost my biological father recently, and i'm still confused about how i feel about it.  My parents split up when i was four, and we moved to a different city.  I can only remember a couple of visits, and then contact stopped for a long time.  However, when i was around nine, he moved to the same city.  My mother and stepfather...

I've hit bottom.  I'm terrified.  I'm afraid, because I was here once before... and that was several years ago when I attempted suicide. Everything has gone completely black.  I can think my way through it all right now, and my emotions are whipping around like a hurricane. I'm afraid that this is where sanity may slip into insanity.  I'm afraid that I can't hold it off anymore. I tell myself "Keep breathing".  Just live through...

So it's Christmas time, or if you don't celebrate Christmas, time for your holiday since there are like 10 holidays for this time of the year. Normally everyone is very happy and excited making lists of the things they want and going shopping for their friends/family members. Me not so much. I've had flashbacks all week. Recently in one of my classes in school we are doing seminars where for a half hour a student is the teacher and tlaks about a social issue. Someone did in...

I am so numb today. Last night I was so hard. I already felt so numb from all this stress and all these feelings and  thenI learned that someelse I know is also a survior and  really couldn't react I had no clue. It felt like its just more wieght on my sholders. Today I am still numb. Numb. Being a survior is so hard as it is and then I fell like such a bitch for not really caring that someone else was too. I could not handle it. I'm sober and I am safe but I feel so numb...

My hands hurt, My feet hurt, They burn in pain and are swollen, Ever since I can remember, My fingers, my toes always hurt, I would tell him it hurt, Please don't do this, He would say it's fine and continue, It would hurt so bad, I would cry so hard, Too this day I have been doing the same to myself, He taught me how to crack my fingers and toes, Why the hell would you do that? Now it is so hard to stop this, It always reminds me of h...

Sleep ,how do you do it? I stay up most of the night? I'm tired but when I close my eyes, The memories are there, I'm on medication to relax, It does help me a lot, I force myself to stay awake, I must hear everything in my home, I can hear the furnice kick on and off, The creeks in the floors, My cats' eating thier food, I could take a sleeping pill, This scares me and I would not hear anything, Have to stay awake to hear my babies too.

I tangled in memories and trying so hard to stay in the present. Its been ten years.  People tell me its in the past.  They tell me I have to let go... Ive tried.  Really really tried.  But it, the past, him, wont let go of me.  I have flashbacks still - more so this time of year (i think maybe i get triggered by the way the air is, smells, light, dark, holidays maybe)  I have nightmares.  My body sometimes feels exactly like it did then - to the point w...

the inside of my head feels like a cyclone is going off inside. i feel like i'm teetering on the edge of a cliff. the more i struggle to gain my footing the more i lose my balance. I fear the daty i finally lose this battle with gravity is coming closer as we speak. I swore to myself that my son grow up better than i did. that he would have the patient carefree happy stable mother  i never did. i wanted to shelter him from the hell that is out there. instead he gets a train wrec...

i really struggle to accept the fact that i was raped and sexually abused. i dont know how to explain it. its like i know i was but only because thats what people told me. people tell me i was raped and sexually abused and it wasnt my fault. but deep down i struggle with that concept. i find myself calling it that because other people do. but no matter what deep down it feels like it was my fault so it couldnt have bbeen rape or sexual abuse. those words are so stron...

You ask me how I am, I have no voice to explain. You have no time to speak, my voice is muted already. Silence is my routine, shutting down is my life. Pretending is so lame, the real me is no game. I wage through the havoc, the war I am far too familiar with. Going to God almost daily, but with no comrade by my side. Wish this was not so hard, to find a soul to love me. One I won't push away, or drown in the depths of darkness. The we's ...

I WANT TO KILL MY MOUSE !!! No, really, I need a new one; I have to make this lousy rodent swim all over the damn page before it will go wher I want it land!!!  Grrrrrrrr!! Anyway, I did get to talk to my Dearest Son, Adam, yesterday, on Yahoo messenger; was so very exciting for me, but because of this 1/2 dead mouse, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make contact w/ him before he signed out again. I miss him so achingly!! He was my only companion during the da...

This is the first time i posted like this Im finally managing to talk in therapy - after years of silence im managing slowly to stutter and stammer out the words to tell what happened.  And I know thats necessary but as I do that I relive and my body remembers.  It hurts like it just happened.  As that pain and aching lasts for a long time.   My body is constantly hurting.  And the flashbacks seem so frequent.  I think I see him all over the place - its ...

im not really sure if this is really fits the struggles category but im struggling to answer the question everyone asks when i see talk to them "how are you?" Now i know everyone means well when asking this question but who honestly answers this question truthfully all the time? I mean really, half the time for me the honest conversation would go something like: friend: how are you? me: oh, not so great. friend: really? whats happening? anything i can do? me: uh well im g...

    I have been trying to deal withall the abuse and rapes for a while now, but I still find myself falling back into the same self-destructive patterns over and over.

I am currantly in DBT treatment and have been hospitalized 4 times; most recently in July 2009. i have been to rehab and NA, But still I slowy self destruct. The abuse took away much of my c...

Hello everyone. I just need to leave these thoughts here. And maybe someone has some advise for me. During the last weeks something happened... I used (?) to be anorexic. Well I dont think you ever fully get rid of it... You may have a normal weight at times and you may eat normally. But in your head, its just always there... So I was at a normal weight lately, eating normally and everything. So for what concernes anorexia I was doing really great (but well... only concerning ano...

So I'm on vacation.  I was suppose to go to Chicago so that I could get my furniture that I pay $300.00 a month for.  It sits in storage.  Its really 250.00 a month but every month it goes into auction and every month I pay the $50.00 late fee to take it out of auction.  I didn't go to Chicago to get my storage room because I didn't have the money since I had to buy a car because the one I had wouldn't start anymore. Here I am in NC thinking about h...

That although I have had some terrible memories from my childhood and have concentrated on those in order to heal. I also have some really lovely memory's of my childhood  too. This week I have been remembering the kindnesses, and the love that was shared with me. I know that I need my past to creat my future, but my past does not create my future.

Many of us have made statements that say( without actually saying it) That we don't have the right to live our lives to our full potential.That we are somehow unworthy to reach for something better. I have been in these thoughts, and I can't say for sure that I am going for my potential yet. I want to, but how can I really know?I struggled with this because when I was younger I had some lofty dreams of being a teacher or a doctor. I am 52 years old and I deliver pizza for a living,...

Well, this really doesn't have to do with my rape...but I thought I could come here for support on another issue in my life...so, here we go. On Thursday my best friend for three years, Reuben, decided to go all crazy. I was telling him how I was having the best week of my whole summer(which I was until this point), and he's like, "I didn't think it was possible for an emo loser like you to have a good week, or even a good day." I started crying immediately. I got really...

How many times have you heard someone say "JUST GET OVER IT".If you are like me you feel like shaking some sense into the person saying it. I'm sorry to say that you never fully get over the effects of abuse. They come back in the form of flashbacks,as well as irrational thinking.I AM happy to say though, that it is possible to heal to the point of having your life back and finding happiness.When you first begin your healing journey, it seems like it is impossible to imagine ever being ...
