Hello my friend @outlander Has the shaking settled down yet? It could be nerves or it could be you are fighting a fever.

Re: Moving forward (sexual abuse )
how can i be a survivor Eth if he literally still live in me- from the HPV- i dont want to keep liiving in fear even though im safe. all these big feelings are scary and nothing i do seems to help anymore. i always try to do the coping strategies that usually work but they ahvent worked for a while now. everything just gets over powered and i dont know what else to do except to take them. i found when i was on the medications it helped and since being off them it like ive forgotten jsut how bad it all was and i cant cope with it. ooh @eth i do feel to blame though thats the problem- it wasnt like your or Li1's that it was sudden. i freaking said yes- how could i have done that- probably becasue i was scared and confused out of my mind- it makes me sick literally throwing up sick. and something so tiny has set it off. it was me remembering my drs appointment- thats all- but then it leads to the hpv then keeps going to my past. it never ends and it scares the crap outta me to think it may never end @eth

I said yes when I was 13 so I do understand @outlander. He was much older and trusted. It was sa by law. I never told.

Re: Moving forward (sexual abuse )
Well .... 2 hrs sleep and here I find myself again. Been having a big time with memories the last few days, but especially late yesterday. Made a list in point form of the things I've had flashes of just the last few days and there are 7 different episodes of sexual abuse as well as a bunch of other traumatic events. And that's still not all of them. Oh dear it's no wonder I'm not sleeping much. Have to be so careful as that can be a bipolar hypomania trigger. After each of those events is when I've had my worst manias and psychosis and blackouts and memory blocks for years. It's no wonder I also have complex PTSD. @Former-Member @NikNik not sure who's on now but I need to talk to someone please.

Re: Moving forward (sexual abuse )
Obviously no-one's around, not even a moderator. Don't know how I'm going to get through this alone.
