- I am feeling so much of everything that I am going numb. I am beginning to think that I don't need to deal with any of this "stuff". I was doing ok. Not happy but ok. Now I am afraid, lonely, overwhelmed. The mood swings are changing from hour to...

- My abusers were male. They were trusted males. One was my brother and the other was his friend. I remember feeling horribly betrayed, like something in me just broke. After the final act of abuse in which he attempted to rape me and drown me I...
