Incest Survivors Community Group
This group was created before there was an actual support group on this site for incest survivors. Most people are already comfortable here, feel free to add your thoughts, questions, and opinions. I'm here for anyone that needs me. -metalheadlxlxl

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
hmmmmm now that is an idea....I honestly am not sure what I look liked as a child
i too have pictures of myself as a young child hanging in really pretty frames on the wall in my bedroom. i stare at them alot and lose myself in my thoughts. i looked so happy in those pics and sometimes i smile at that cute innocent face i use to be and sometimes i cry bc she is lost. never really thought about this before and i am glad to hear i am not the only one that does this. ittybitty
damaged "Normal"
I wish we all could have our innoscence back the way it was before it was brutally taken from us. Unfortunately, it takes alot of work but it can be done, and it's worth it!
ive tried the photo thing but it didnt work for me. I know that the child is me, a child who was abused and damaged by her own father. looking at younger pics makes me sad because I see and innocent child who was born, without choice, to a perverted dad and a mum who didnt do enough to protect her.
If it helps you to look at young photos great but what u are saying implies that in ur childhood everything was great but after the abuse, you are a lesser person. This is true in a sense because abuse damages us so much but we are survivors. we had horrific ordeals and we are struggling on, fighting an amazing, courageous battle to not let the abuse consume us. I think we beat up on ourselves alot and forget to be proud of what we have achieved and live through. I know I do.
thanks for sharing and hope this strategy works for others and who knows one day it may click and work for me.
