Greetings. I'm new.

I'm grateful to have found this site.

The holidays have brought their yearly anxiety and depression, but it has been complicated by realizing the depth of spousal abuse I've endured. My denial was based on my thinking how strong I was, while swirling down the toilet. Add to that a hit of PTSD, a drop of agoraphobia, sense of hopelessness, intense dislike of my husband, and various other challenges, it's probably pretty obvious why I'm not feeling so hot.

I feel ashamed I'm functioning at such a low level--close to flat-lining.

I'm here to share and learn.

Thanks for being here.

Welcome Caroline.

I am also a survivor of abuse by my ex that was emotional, verbal, sexual and physical, I also dealt with multiple sexual assaults & sexual harassments and also deal with PTSD.

I've also been diagnosed with seasonal and clinical depression as well as generalized anxiety disorder.


Looking forward to talking with you.
