    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Since I can remember,my parents used to bully me,tell me I wasn't good enough,made fun of me and always put me down. They made me feel like nothing and they still do which is why I don't speak to them anymore,but I still struggle with feeling worthless sometimes. I've also been in some abusive relationships. I've never really spoken much about what happened. I'd like to talk to someone on here if anyone's got the time to help me,I'd be very grateful.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      I did help to talk about it a bit but I'm still really ashamed of the things that happened to me so I still have difficulty talking about it.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      When I was younger,I was with a very abusive partner who used to beat me and rape me on a regular basis. We were only together a short time but he didn't leave me alone after we split and he stalked me for another 3 years. He continued to harrass me,attacked me whenever he had a chance,even kidnapped me. In the end,he tried to kill me but I was lucky enough to get away unhurt. I've never spoken much about the things he did to me. To be honest,I still feel ashamed. Can you help?

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      I've found that talking does help but because I still feel so ashamed,I have trouble talking openly about my experiences.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with depression when I was 15,I'm now 24 so I've been living with it for a while. I take medication and I see my doctor regularly,aswell as seeing a psychiatrist on a regular basis. I'm on a waiting list for counselling too. I guess the reason I'm here is I don't have a lot of friends and I'd like to make some that I can talk to aswell. It always helps when the other person understands how you're feeling.

      Treatments

      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      It helped for a while,certainly calmed me down but I find it difficult to concentrate sometimes,which make it difficult to focus on relaxing.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      This is something I have a lot of difficulty with.Negativity has been drilled into me from a young age. But it really does work if I really put my mind to it. Keeping busy helps too,helps to keep me focused.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I've had a couple of good consellors who have really helped and encouraged me to talk openly about how I feel. Sometimes it's still a working progress but I'm sure I'll get there.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I'm lucky enough to have some really good friends around me aswell as a fantastic boyfriend,and they've helped hugely. It helps knowing there's someone there if I need them.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing has probably been one of the things that's helped the most. I'm not very good at talking about the problems I have so writing about them has been a bit of a release and I've been able to write to those that I can't settle things with.
      Remeron Working / Worked
      I take 45mg a day.It makes me a bit drowsy but it helps to keep me on an even keel most of the time.
    • Open Rape

      I was raped on New Year's Eve by a man I used to know a long time ago. He and my ex used to abuse me,physically and sexually. I don't know how this guy found me but he did and has attacked me twice in my own home. I'm terrified he's going to find me again. I'm still waitng for counselling so I'd really like some help if anyone's got the time.
