today it became obvious to me that the sexual abuse in my childhood has had alot more impact on life han I thought. I have suffered from depression and a eating disorder. I spent an hour with a psychologist today and he was just asking questions to help with my treament and when he asked about whether I had been sexually abused,I admitted a sibling had done so. He asked me how I felt and that just opened the flood gates of tears. I always thought that the impact was quite low but I know realize it started many of my mental health problems. I'm going to carry on with my therapy as I am so tired of living the life I live. #theonlywayisup

You are on the right path my friend, it gets better with time and therapy. Hugs

I wish I had something to say but everything I type sounds bad in my head. Good luck with all your therapy.

beverlyanne - is difficult walking through the wreckage of the past but it will be well worth you feeling so much better later. Job well done, keep going the therapy.

thanks April,NamiMoore,turbulence. I feel really confident about my treatment now as I believe previous therapy I received was attacking the wrong problem. I'm 52 now and just want to have a happy and peaceful life. I have an otherwise great life excepting that I am not happy in myself. oh to wake up one morning with joy in my life

@beverlyanne - here, here, many of us feel the same way. We’re all works in progress.
