I've fallen into that category from time to time. I'm more interesting in helping other people than myself. I suppose I do this because I want to feel good about myself. I'm not a fountain of good advise. However if there is a very good or inspiring story to share I will gladly do so.

I have never really sat down and asses my feelings. Maybe I should but I wouldn't really know where to begin. Which is why sometimes I would just going around reading other people's post like a phantom.

h twyliah,

I also have been neglecting myself although I have been dealing with my abuse as I can, not that I do much progress and am starting with therapy. I also tend to isolate myself. I also want to get back on track and that is what I am trying to do. Also I think I have depression and anxiety. I wish you the best and good luck in your healing journey,

I feel like I have made an important step in the right direction. Thank you for your support. I appreciate this forum and the people who contribute to it. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I try to be or put forth that image. I think it makes me feel kind of terrified that I will make a wrong move or say the wrong thing.

If anyone knows any steps to start this process I would love to read about and try it. 15 years of denial are more than enough!

I can relate to the depression, anxiety and isolating. What's weird is I dk what brought it on but it's really messing with my life...makes it hard to focus and write

Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. I had depression and anxiety before being sexually abused by my therapist, that made things much worse for me.
