      From Willingtobefree November 19, 2008

      Shelia, I wanted to say thank you and send you some flowers. I worked hard to get where I was finally able to share my story. I did it to give others hope and courage that they can overcome and can survive and be able to do the things they want to and be happy.

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused by my father. I believe the abuse started early at age 3 or 4 and I don't remember when it stopped. I think when my father got sick with cancer, but I can't be sure. I just don't remember my childhood well. I just want to put the pieces together and get on with my life.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I just started telling my therapist.

      I have been a self injurer for approximately 10 years. I have yet to break this shameful habit, but am working on it.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Rubber Bands Somewhat Helpful
      I do occasionally use this treatment, but it doesn't really work because eventually the welts go away and I feel like I deserve the pain to last.
    • Open Bereavement

      On January 9, 2008, I lost my Grandpa to Leukemia. He was my hero. He was 82 years young and I miss him so much. I just want him to come back.
