Support Groups
Close Sexual Abuse
I am a middle-aged childhood incest survivor, overcomer of acquaintance rape, and out of an abusive marriage. I'm also bipolar. Support groups, in person and online have been helpful to me in the past and while I have been away from them for a while, now feel the need to reconnect with others.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- Some groups are better than others, depending on the dynamic, what people are willing to put into it, what you yourself are willing to put into it. Overall they have been very beneficial to me. Side effects usually come about for me because of triggering but it can be handled.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I think venting with "safe persons" is extremely beneficial to get feelings ot.
Close Incest Survivors
I am a 56-year old survivor of sexual abuse and rape. I was abused by my adopted father for a number of years and was raped when I was 28. I've been in therapy, support groups, etc. I am also bipolar and struggle with chronic depression.
Open Codependency
I have been codependent most of my life because of abuse issues. It has messed up my life and others because I do not get a handle on it. I like to think I have for periods of time. I am a sexual assault survivor, am bipolar and chronic depressive. Still working on these!
