Hi,
I can empathize with your description of how you feel and relate to it. What helped me and others here was finding a qualified therapist to treat the trauma of survivors of abuse.
There are centers who provide free consultations for survivors of abuse, I suggest you check that.
You should not stay with this forever, things can get better for you and you can move on from this.

Sounds like you could use some down time and a vacation. To recharge and get with a good therapist. I know that spinning sensation. It does get easier with therapy. It will always be there but not to that extent.

Welcome.

This is a place where you can share as much or as little as you like. Whatever you're going through, whatever you've been through, you will find fellowship here.

Do you know about "derealization" as a symptom of psychological disturbance? I think we've all experienced it to one extent or another. As others have said, it will get better with time and therapy or counseling.

I've been in counseling for awhile and have gone through several therapists. That's the discouraging part.

Well, you're not the only one, there either! The important thing is to never give up. Hopefully previous experience has made it clear to you what you need and want from a counselor, and if not, you can brainstorm about it here and find out what's worked for others.

Don't give up! That's the main thing.

    Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
