Hello, Leslie.
You can, but don't have to tell your story. It may help to read a bit to see you are not alone. There are many of here so you may find someone who's experience and recovery resonates with you.
I had a very early start on various abuses and neglect, so as others say I don't have a before the trauma reference. But I do have an I am a survivor reference now. It took me a while to say that, because I was wired to wait for the other shoe to drop...with the huge pile of other foot ware.

You have a journal here you can write in as needed, it really helps. You can set the privacy to different levels, you, friends, or public., On somethings feed back is good to help see another option or point of view.
Support, J.

It doesn’t matter who you talk to , it all comes down to when YOURE ready to move on . Which can take a long or short period of time . Both are okay .

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
