    • About Me

      I am a 21 year old female, who has some type of lupus like disease. I have had this anomoly for seven years now and I can't stand it. It interfers with work, school and relationships. I'm currently trying to figure out how to live my life better at this current point and hoping this site can help.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually harrassed/abused by a co-worker and I let the abuse go on for about a year.I knew it was wrong and tried to make him stop, but no was nto in his vocabulary.I could get over this if it didn't make me have nightmares that made me remember being abused as a child by my uncle and a man that rented an aparement from my grandmother's house.Not to mention my first boyfriend raping me our first time, no wasn't in his vocab either.Now I realize some of my behavior comes from being abused.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Thank God for my therapist.
