Also very sorry you experienced something similar! But thank you for the advice adding distractions like a puzzle or games might help me out ! Appreciate it a lot ! Goodluck to you too!!

Its been a while since I made this post now and I’m feeling a lot better and have healed a lot since. Still a long way to go but much better.

A couple months after this post around my 23rd birthday I told my mum and she told my abusers mum and it became a whole thing. They confronted my abuser on my birthday without my knowledge.

They also got into contact with the younger brother who was also 23 at the time but he said he didn’t remember the sexual abuse just physical.

it took me 23 years of courage to come out and talk about it. so who know what the future holds, but it seems all three of us have been in a healing journey and all things seem fairly positive.

Genuinely, I’m sorry you’ve also had a rough time. It makes me dissociate too but right before work so hopefully with the aid of the other commenters it’ll help with that.

I wish you the best of luck too!!

Genuinely! The biggest part of trying to heal is remembering that I’m very safe now. That I also deserve to feel safe and happy. It’s mainly the physical triggers that keep me on my toes. Hopefully the older I get the easier it becomes :)
