Hello there everybody.
I'm new here. I'm not sure exactly what to say or what to put in my introduction.
I'm here because I'm looking for a place where people can understand what it is that I'm going through. I find it hard to explain what it is that's going on in my head, especially when I've been triggered. It's hard to explain what's going on in my head.
Like many others here, I'm also a survivor of various forms of abuse. I won't go into detail. I do want to talk briefly about my journey and how I came to need this. My mother has bipolar depression. She neglected me when I was young. I was physically abused. I was raped at 13, while I was still at school. I was then repeatedly sexually abused by the same person for 3 years after. I was also verbally and physically abused until I was 25, when I decided that I needed to stop the abuse that I could. I've been lucky enough to find some wonderful people who I feel I can trust (no small feat since I've never had a base of trust when I was younger).
I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. I'm hoping for, at least, a good resource. Beyond that, we'll see what else happens.
