Hi I haven't been on here in a while, but I am haunted by what happen to me when I was growing up as people on here know I was sexually abused for about 6 years from ages of 10 until I was 16 it only stopped because my abuser moved away. I am angry and upset all the time I went to my doctor and he told me I have depression and gave me medication which I have been on for the last two years. I just don't know how to past what happen to me. My problem is I still live in the same house where most of the abuse happened so of course it's all I can think about but I can't afford to move out so I'm stuck with all the bad memories.
If you can't move out and you can't afford therapy then here are some tips on how to release that anger. It won't be easy but it is important that you release it in safe ways - ways that do not hurt you or anyone around you. Here are some things you can do to release the anger while focusing on the person you are so angry at:
-Rip up cardboard boxes, phone books or anything that is really resistant to you ripping it apart.
-Punch a pillow
-Scream into a pillow
-Write it out and then rip it into a million pieces or burn it...or both.
-Cry - crying does release anger
-Get a body size pillow and draw a face on it which represents the person/people who hurt you. Then beat the crap out of it. Rip it to shreds. Kick it. Jump on it. Strangle it. Whatever you have to do to destroy it.
It's so important that you release the anger rather than hold it inside. That is one of the reasons you are depressed because depression is anger turned inwards. And you don't deserve to have all that anger pointed at yourself. You don't deserve to hurt any more.
