I am new. I have been really struggling with nightmares, suicidal thoughts, severe anxiety, bad thoughts and memories. I am seeing a therapist, it has kind of helped the suicidal thoughts, but no relief in other areas. Today I went to ER for anxiety attack. I can't seem to talk about what happened. It was years ago, but for some reason recently it feels like it just happened. I can write about it- weird my throat literally won't let me speak about it, but it is eating me alive. I feel like I might actually lose control. thanks for listening.

I am very sorry for what you've been through. I read your other post as well. Your body and spirit have suffered a lot of violence, and I suspect that what happened in your adult life was not the start of it.

If writing is a way for you to express and process what happened then writing is a good way to begin. You can post, as you have done, or write in a DS or physical journal. You can set your journals and also your profile to Private or Friends Only.

This is a safe space to not be alone with your feelings and experiences. (Just beware of people looking to communicate offline and get details out of you).

You didn't deserve any of the things that happened to you. You deserve to heal.

    Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
