    • About Me

      I have been fighting depression, anxity, PTSD, domestic abuse for years. I started cutting about ten years ago and have been fighting it ever since. sometimes i can sometimes go months with good control and other times i cut daily. I wish there were support groups that i could attend like AA or something like that. Self-injury is an addiction and there is little help out there for us.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      Treatments

      Leave Working / Worked
      He died in a car accident when i was 13 thats how it stopped. He always told me it was my fault and i could never tell anyone. I believed him i was 8 at the time. By the time it ended i was 13 and know it was wrong but how do you tell your parents about something so wrong that had been going on so long. So i continued to never tell anyone. I feel better being able to tell others.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I held my childhood abuse inside for 30 years never telling anyone. It took years of theapy to even tell my shrink about it. I still feel guilty because i do not hate my abuser and i feel guilty about that.
