      I am interested in meeting people who have also dealt with sexual-emotional-physical abuse. I am not here to "hook up" with anyone, but to learn how to live a healthy, anxiety-free life surrounded by people who are like minded and supportive.

    • Close Anxiety

      I have been dealing with anxiety due to PTSD for over 10 years now. I feel incredibly alone in this and am wanting to reach out to others dealing with both anxiety and abuse.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes you cannot completely control how your body will react to stress (heart palps) and that can set off a panic attack regardless of how positive you might try to be.
    • Close Panic Attacks

      I have been dealing with anxiety due to PTSD for over 10 years now. I feel incredibly alone in this and am wanting to reach out to others dealing with both anxiety and abuse.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      It does help nearly 100 percent of the time when I am having a panic attack to think "it's just a panic attack and I am not going to die"......definitely helps!!! Just relaxing and allowing it to happen works as well.
      Psychotherapy Considering
      As a child, I had a lot of therapists....but nothing really worked for me since I wasn't willing to allow it to. I think I am ready for that now.
    • Open Self-Injury

      I have been a self mutilator since I was a child. I have gone from attempts to suicide, to bulimia, to cutting, to hitting myself, etc.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Considering
      In the past I have gone to therapy, but didn't work due to me not allowing it to.
      Rubber Bands Not Working
      No. Not even close.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Definitely helps to cry/scream/talk it out.
      Tattoos Somewhat Helpful
      I have even tried piercing and tattooing as alternatives to self injury though it is not exactly the same. I need the "feeling" at the moment I start getting that urge.
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      Have endured years of sexual abuse.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      I paint, draw, create, and take pictures.....also write.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Screaming/crying/talking it out helps me a lot.
    • Open Healthy Sex

      After years of sexual abuse, I am trying to find ways to enjoy sex in a healthy way.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
    • Open Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      I have been bulimic for 13 years. I am recovering.

    • Open Healthy Relationships

      Been in and out of terrible relationships boarding abusive, some where abusive. Finally found someone who is amazing. Want to make sure I don't mess it up.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      Talking Working / Worked
      Writing Working / Worked
    • Open Infidelity

      I have never been loyal to anyone I have ever been with. I want to learn how to be.

      Treatments

      Divorce Working / Worked
      I learned a lot from my marriage and divorce. I know what works and doesn't. Both of us cheated constantly.
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      Realizing a lot of my issues are from my childhood and that fidelity is difficult for people who do not trust.
      Leave Working / Worked
      Not putting myself into sexual situations, not talking to men, not repeating the same types of behavior.
    • Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      Just found out I might have this. Might be the reason for all my anxiety.
