how do you deal with the sexual abuse? when it happened as a child. but it feels only like yesterday. yesterday when my cousin kept forcing himself on me over and over again. even when i begged him not to. when my uncle kept feeling my budding breast? when my dad made me give him a blow job? and told me not to tell. and later in life that same uncle had a gun and forced me to have sex with him.he said, "he always liked my titties when i was a child." how do i cope when these thoughts keep flooding in and keeps on drowning me. all my life i've only dealt with it the only way i knew how to: to try to take my own life.

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...

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...
I don't have memories of my abuse but I have body memories that make me feel sick, alone, terrified and sad. Have you tried talking with a therapist? I don't think I could get through all of this without my therapist.

so sorry to hear of your abuse. as far as how i deal with mine... well, the only thing i can do is keep giving it to god. for the longest time, i was mad at him, i cried out for his help while i was being abused and i felt he didn't want to help me. now, i see that he was there, even tho it was a horrible situation, he was still there. loving me.
i used to dwell on the abuse i suffered. relived it everday actually, but now, i hardly think about it. it is still there tho because when i try to figure out why i am struggling with the addictions i have, it always rears it's ugly head.
well, sorry this is so long. i just wanted to reply to this post and let you know that i am pulling for you and if you need a friendly ear from someone who's been there, you just let me know.

The question is ask is a tough one but there is an answer. You have to face it head on with a therapist that knows how to help you heal and teaches you coping skills as well as other techniques to rebuild what was taken away. Which was trust, self-esteem, self worth and many other things.
I would suggest trying EMDR therapy it is the therapy that I recommend to everyone that is a survivor of sexual abuse or assault. It is a wonderful therapy that is used to help with PTSD and is what I used to get my life back!
Hugs!
I don't have any answers on how to cope... in fact, i have trouble coping alot of days myself!
I am distancing myself from my abuser and hoping that this will help me begin to heal!
Does your area have a community counseling type of program? In Mississippi, we have a program titled Community Counseling, the therapist can come to your house, they also have pay scales that start at no cost and then consider what the person can afford. I think they call that a sliding scale for payments.
