Question on Abuse

I've had problems with depression and wonder if I was abused as a child. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but when I was about 8 an older boy,by 4yrs, showed me some pornagraphy multiple times. Once, he put my penis in his mouth for a fraction of a second (it was under water).

Like I said, I've never thought much of it but now that I'm dealing with depression and relationship troubles I wanted someone else's opinion. Your opinions would be appreciated.

I think your memories are valid! How sorry I am that you even had such an occurrance.\

With that said, there could oh so many reasons for your depression and relationship problems. Have you seen a counselor/therapist/ or Doctor?

Flashbacks could pose many issues if you have them at all.

Keep writing and sharing I care.

If it affects you, it is a big deal. Depression brings up the worst memories. Being 8 yrs old and having a boy show you pornography is something big. Talk to a counselor and if your depression doesn't let up, try talking to your doctor about depression meds. I have clinical depression and the right meds can help. Keep your chin up and smile.

had a similiar experience...when i was 11...a man in his 30's made me open my mouth and he made me suk on 2 of his fingers...he did not touch me in any other way...nor did he make me touch him in any other way...he just made me do that for like a really long time...and told me I best get used to the feeling in my mouth...and that he would be back thru in a few years so he could be sure I knew what it was he was talking about....I never did see him again...but his face is so burned into my mind that I will never forget about it.

your memories and feelings are valid, and if something feels like a big deal then it is.

    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...
