SEXUALLY ABUSED

Post by isabel001 » Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:13 pm

hi everyone....

i made a realization just today, I'm ready to share my story to everyone of you.... to inspire women/men out there who were sexually abused as a child or as an adult...

i was molested when i was 8 years old, and at first i didn't know what was happening... for some reasons, i wasn't able to scream, i wasn't able to shout for help and i was so FRAGILE...

it continued when i was growing up... still I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout for help... i was so FRAGILE...

then I didn't know what to do, I didn't know who could help me because I belong to a dysfunctional family, i might just as well keep it MY DARK SECRET

I grew up to be very smart, i was an A+ student almost all through out my school years but deep inside me "SOMETHING WAS WRONG"

my heart was full of hatred, self blame, agony, despair and insecurities...

I couldn't share it to everyone because I was so fragile and I didn't know how to start....

I suppressed ALL THE SEXUAL MOLESTATION MEMORIES. I killed all the memories of my childhood... I grew up thinking I was a CURSED... :(

I thought I succesfully KILLED these NIGHTMARES OF MY LIFE but I was wrong...

IT HUNTED ME FOR ALL THE YEARS OF MY LIFE. I GOT FIXATED. I DIDN'T GROW. I WAS STUCK. MY HEART WAS DYING. I FELT ALONE.

now, I'm one of those people who is suffering from POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.

I HAVE DEPRESSION. I HAVE ANXIETY.......

IT'S 7:45 PM RIGHT NOW, and im offering this story of my life to all the STRONG SURVIVORS of SEXUAL ABUSE in this whole wide world....

i know it's not easy... IT'S PAINFUL and i describe it as a DYING HEART

BUT

my merely SURVIVING this trauma means WE ARE BLESSED. GOD MADE A MIRACLE IN OUR LIVES THAT NO ONE COULD TAKE AWAY FROM OUR LIFE.

TO ALL SURVIVORS OUT THERE, SPEAK UP! SHARE YOUR STORY! DON'T HIDE IN THE CLOSET OF SHAME AND HYPOCRACY!

WE ARE BLESSED, WE ARE STRONG, WE ARE FIGHTERS, WE DON'T GIVE UP!

i feel a lot better now that i have written this MESSAGE. share your story and after typing your LIFE EXPERIENCES... EXPERIENCE HOW IT FEELS TO BE FREE.

Thank you for being so honest! I too was sexually abused from my first memories as a child of 3 until I was 22 (. My father would come into my room at night or when I was home alone with him. I hardly sleep now because I listen for the door to be opened...to this day! I have been in a few bad relationships and was married to someone who cheated on me our entire marriage and abused me mentally and physically. I have been a single parent for almost 18 years. I am currently in a relationship which I feel is doomed. I have panic attacks when out in public with him. I feel like he is always looking for someting "better" to come along, and I am paranoid that he is always searching for someone else even at his job. I feel inadequate, that I am not enough, depressed, anxious all the time (but when I am with him or think about what he may be doing when he is not with me I panic and stress out). I am up at 2:30 am today because all I can think of is that he has been looking at porn or other women and that is why he doesn't want to spend time with me since we haven't seen each other in over a week (we live within 15 minutes of each other). I am a bit overweight and extremely self conscious. I also am hypercritical of myself. I want to believe that this program can help me and I should just give it to God, but can't seem to completely let go! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to stop these accuzations toward him? I just want to be able to go out on a regular date...a movie or dinner without having these irrational thoughts and comparing myself to other women. Please let me know if there are people who may be going through something similar. Thank you! I pray that this program helps. I just started it yesterday, though I have had the materials since April of last year. I did not have access to a computer until now. God bless us all as we begin this life-changing endeavor!

Wow! You all are really strong to go through those awful things! I personally think that I was sexually abused as well. The reason why I am not sure though is because I was sleeping; i didn't know if it was a dream or reality. I was at my stepmom's sister's house. Her sister had a son named Sharlow. Whenever I was around him, I just had this weird feeling. Well that night my brother and some of the my stepmom's nieces slept on the trampoline. I was too cold so I came in and slept on the couch in the living room. I was woken up by someone's hand crawling up my shorts and pulling at my underwear. I remember kicking at this person's hand. Then, it happened again. I kept kicking as hard as I could. It happened again and I sort of sat up and let my eyes adjust to the darkness. I could have swore I saw Sharlow. Then, I remember laying back now and hearing "Sharlow the horses are out." I lied there for a while. I didn't want to get up cuz I didn't know if someone was still at the edge of the couch. I got up and went to the bathroom. The whole time I was in the bathroom all I kept thinking was I really think that happened; I do not think it was a dream. Its still hard to think about to this day. Whenever I see him, I get really weirded out and scared.
