I'm going crazy I think. I was crying before feeling like I was going to be alone for the rest of my life. How am I supposed to find someone and have to explain to them that I was abused, I'm on disability and I don't work. It's bad enough telling someone I don't drive yet. And not only that, but now my newfound sexual feelings towards men are now turning back into the old non-hormonal, "just for the attention feelings". DAMMIT!! I was told that once I finally had the normal hormonal feelings that they wouldn't go away. But I guess they were wrong. Either that, or it's me and I'm just a Goddamn freak. The worst case scenario always seems to happen. Maybe the old feelings are there because I'm lonely, but then why would my body's feelings shut off? It's going backwards again. I'm not ever going to have a normal sex life. EVER! I thought I was finally making a frigging breakthrough, but noooo, of course not, not me. Positives don't happen to me. If they start to they get ripped right away from me. Just like everything else. I suppose I'm just damned from the beginning. I hate my life so much!!

You mentioned those old feelings -- that's how healing is. Two steps forward and one step back. It gets so frustrating. Some days I feel on top of the world like the past can never harm me again. Other days it's like the abuse is still happening and I'm scum.
Support groups and counseling have helped me a lot. I made some good friends through survivor support groups (they help reduce my isolation and help me feel like less of a freak) but nothing beats one on one time with a trauma therapist who really gets it.
A couple of resources to look into -- The Sidran Foundation, an excellent information and referral resource for trauma survivors. www.sidran.org and a book called "The Courage to Heal" by Ellen Bass. Cheap, used copies are available on Amazon.com. That book pretty much covers all the bases.
Wishing you the best.
