Support Groups
Close Sexual Abuse
Older brother.
Treatments
- Art Not Working
- Art was a quick fix to the problem for me. It helped me feel better in the moment but didn't resolve any of my issues.
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- AKA Daily Strength. I don't know how I ever survived without this site.
- Leave Working / Worked
- It definately helps to remove ourselves from anyone who is toxic. Deciding to separate my life from my abuser has been very powerful and given me much peace.
- Talking Working / Worked
- When I was finally able to talk about it, my life began to improve. Much of the pain is caused by the burden we carry when we keep things hidden.
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
My father was a raging alcoholic and my family lived with his fury. My mom refused to leave him though he was hurting all of us and he is better now, but I and the rest of my family are permenantly scarred.
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking is key to surviving any kind of abuse. Sometimes I've sounded like a broken record, but each time the stories are told the memories are less powerful.
Open Schizophrenia
My baby brother was diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia in 2001. I've learned a lot since then, but still have a lot to learn.
Treatments
- Zyprexa Not Working
- It impared the use of his jaw, and made him seem intoxicated.
Open Shyness
I've always been very shy, and I feel like everything I say comes out wrong. I've even clicked off my chat button on here because the one-on-one conversation is too much for me.
Open Family Issues
My family has always been disfunctional. Every kind of abuse went on in our home and some of us still aren't speaking because of it. There's a lot of hatred and resentment and it seems like nobody really wants things to get any better. I tried for a long time to make things better, but it just costed me a lot of energy for nothing. I hate my brother and sometimes my dad and mom for what they did to me when I was growing up and before I can try to fix my family, I need to fix my own heart.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Considering
- When it's possible, I believe it's the best thing one can do to heal. I'm still not sure if I've REALLY been able to forgive some things, and others I'm sure I never will.
- Music Not Working
- It's like art to me, good for the moment, helped to achieve nothing.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Writing Working / Worked
- Blogging has helped.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was sexually, physically, and emotionally abused throughout my childhood. My therapist feels that processing sexual abuse will help treat my depression.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
