hello, A good therapist can help a lot. Also journaling as a big thing for me...helps me sort out confusing feelings. and can be very insightful to look back on. Also posting whatever you feel comfortable with here in the community is good too. A lot of ppl here are very caring. Pls drop me a note if you feel like talking k?

I've found that getting it out has helped me. While I still haven't "told" anyone (other than my therapist) I have written about what happened to me ... here on this board.

By "telling" my story ... I realize that I'm letting some of the shame go. I, nor you, should feel ashamed of what happened to us. We were just children. The ones who should feel shame are the sick individuals who hurt us.

Wishing you peace and healing.

that is what we are here for. Coming to terms is a process and the fact you have asked is a good start.

I agree with 1 and 2. Jounalling has helped me a lot. writing letters to my abusers (didn't send any when if first started the recovery) but it helped to write my feelings down. made for good practice until I finnally did send the letters.

hang in there. The ride you have been on for 32 years is about to change. It will be trying but very very worth it.

good luck

    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...
