Just wanted to say hi. My name is Anjali. I was molested by my step grandfather as a child and have a lot of other sexual trauma. Im scared most nights I cry myself to sleep. Sometimes I even drink to numb the pain. I have two wonderful people that love me unconditionally my cousin and girlfriend. Those two people keep me going and inspired. Im not sure how to deal with this.
Yes, I am wondering the same thing, are you in therapy or attending group meetings for sexual abuse? Do you atleast have someone to talk about the type of trauma that you are experiencing? From the things that Ive been through, I also was depressed and did bodily harm to myself and had thoughts that were suicidal. But you must remember, no matter what you go through, have hope and faith that things will get better. You cant allow your past to rule your present. You deserve a better life than that; you deserve it to yourself be happy. I started dealing with my issues through my faith in God and realizing that my past does not define who I am and can be today. I also began to try to forgive that person who sexually abused me. Next, I discovered the idea that I MUST learn to love myself through the experiences I been through and the fact that I was violated by a family member. Learning to love yourself is so important when it comes to your mental, emotional, and even physical health. It can also help you to love others when it comes to personal relationships.
Please, if you want to talk you can message me if you want to. I'm very inspired by this community and wanting to heal with others. :) .
You're not alone in this. Sorry for what happened to you and for what you're going through - but welcome here and I hope you find some comfort and support in this group.
And, yes, therapy is essential for me to deal with trauma, so I think it might help you, too.
