News of Kinds of Abuse

How do you deal with the Depression this crap causes?

I'm good at dealing with the Flashbacks. Hell, I've written articles about it. (https://healthvista.net/wp-content/uplo ... andout.pdf) But the Depression has been with me since 1998, If I'm honest, probably since the sexual abuse happened at 5 years old back in 1974. I'm heading into a dark place right now and I'm getting tired of this.

the YouTube videos say you never fully recover.
even chat gpt said you never recover from sex abuse/narc abuse.

it's been more than a decade since I had the nervous breakdown. after years of therapy I accepted there is no recovery. so why try living anymore :(
abusers won, I lost..
even novel on narc abuse... in fountainhead the evil tells to his victim: you know what ...

the abuse made me so hyper. so so hyper n I just wanted more n more of it. I'm 35 now. I don't know where abuse stops n where I begin.
I am not a fan of flings n one night stands, yet it hurts me to know that I've subjected my body to it.
imo sex should be between lovers who emotionally connect n not like a need.
i dont seek pity. I don't ...

I was molested by two priests as a child. Most of the details are hazy, but I had to of have been in the first to third grade. I went to a Catholic middle school. I don't how often it happened, but I vividly remember one time.

I'm in my thirties now... I dont know if I should bother telling my family. My parents prided themselves on sending my sister and I to a private ...

Hi, I'm Saulley, I'm 26, and I've recently came out to my closest friends and therapist about a SA that happened to me 13 years ago.

At first, it felt great, finally being able to explain to them why I couldn't swallow certain foods, or go to public bathroom, they've been really understanding and supporting.

But I feel like it's not enough, they are really nice and I love them, but I need to talk ...

I'm part of a system (DID), so I'm used to not having access to all of the memories and feelings stored in our brain, but I was wondering about something in particular. I seem to go through cycles where I'll first be obsessively trying to work on our CSA trauma and I'll usually feel horrible and be triggered near-constantly. Then, I'll fall off of that and somehow slip into a period where it's very difficult ...

Today was... something. I think I/we basically woke up triggered? But I don't remember having triggering dreams. Is this something anyone else deals with? It kind of set the stage for a worse day.

I went to a New Years party with my (now ex) boyfriend and some friends at his house. We had been dating for 4 months, and I was very clear from the beginning of the relationship that I didn't want to have sex before marriage. We even had a long conversation about what I was comfortable with right at the beginning, where I said that I would not be comfortable with oral or anything more ...

all my life i have craved for validation, attention from others. a beggar of validation. mom was always strict. she would scold us for stuff as using the toilet.
it was madness
she has blurted that one must manipulate n emotional blackmail others.

recently we went to a wedding, where mom's childish expression made me feel sad for her. and also for myself. that i got such a family.
at wedding i had eaten my ...

I've had a rough year medically and for much of it I was in so much pain I couldn't move without pain releif. It was just hard.
I'm trying to move on from it but every time I see people in pain, even if it's just on TV or in a video game it all just comes flooding back to me and I panic and I need to sleep it off. I'm not resiliant any ...
