Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
longer I can hang on. Today has been really difficult. I did a lot of work in reference to my trauma issues which caused a lot of mental anguish and chest discomfort to the point of chest pain. I realize more and more everyday the many traumas (which have been suppressed) I have endured that keep being pushed to the surface quickly, hitting me violently. And I can't recover from the first one before the second, and the third, and so on, attacks me. I was in so much pain I wanted to die. Today, I almost went to the store for alcohol because I could not deal. (And yes I have tried medicine which didn't help very much). The triggers are everywhere to the point I don't even want to go outside. And yes I have a very good therapist but she can't erase what has been done. Everyday I feel like I am walking on a mine field.
I was told that I could be a mentor to young women and girls. But how the hell can I do that when I am struggling to hold it together. Sigh. What's the point of life when you can't live it with happiness. After all, struggling aint living. I just want to live the last years of my life in peace. Death can't come fast enough.
Any constructive advice would be great.

Even tho a therapist can't erase what happened, they can use modalities that invite healing. My therapist included a healing segment in each session. It was so very different from what I was used to and it really made a huge difference.
In addition to my therapy, one of the things that helped me was using guided imagery. I found Belleruth Naparstek's guilded imagery for "Healing Trauma" very helpful in conjunction w/my therapy. (of course check w/your therapist first)

I am still struggling but I feel a lot better today. I will continue to work on myself and try to hang in there.
I have been checking out meditations on youtube as well as through life coaches. Now that I have a resource for guided imagery.
