Hi, Im new to this community, Finally decided to join. Its good to be able to see alot of similiar stories, like mine. Trying to deal with alot of anger, saddness, anxiety from past abuse that I really didnt even remember for years. When I think about it i just feel sick to my stomach. I still dont remember everything. I am seeing a counselor to deal with the anxiety that i get. Do I have to remember everything to heal? The counselor hasnt really gotten into the details of what happened. I dont think Im comfortable with that right now. But Its like i want to get past this. I Hate this feeling I wish I never remembered in the first place.I have been in denial that it even happened for so long.Does it get any better?

I'm so sorry that you're going through such pain right now. But, yes, it does get better if you allow to. I completely understand your feelings right now. I felt so angry and sick for years. And no, you don't have to remember every single thing in order to heal. I don't remember every thing about my abuse, and I am healing very nicely. Seeing a counselor is really good. And if they're a good counselor they won't start pulling out your memories until you're ready. You'll be in my prayers. I'm always here if you ever need anything. Lots of love!

Oh hon I couldve written this myself! I am in the early stages of remebering and just beginning to see a counselor. I dont think Im much help but we can walk through this together if you need to.

I knew about the abuse years ago - but I had not dealt with it until I found this site. Being able read other's experiences helps me identify my issues and once I know what I am feeling - I can deal with it - but not until then. You are in the right place and I guarantee things will get better.

It WILL get better, it just takes time. I always think of it in terms of; I will move past it, but not necessarily get over it. And you will too, you're strong enough, but it might take time and hopefully you will come to trust your counselor so you can make progress. I wish you the best of luck!!

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...
