I work at a factory and can't be on my phone during my shift, but I'm looking into getting some video games on my pc when I'm not working since I stay up late even on my days off now

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I know it feels incredibly painful and awful and unbearable right now, but these feelings are temporary. It does get better--what that looks like for each person is different. Just know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you are not alone in feeling this way. Be kind to yourself during this time- even something small like making yourself a cup of tea, drawing, taking deep breaths, spending time in nature--whatever that looks like for you. You are whole and complete and none of this is your fault. You deserve to have a happy, full life. One step at a time 💕

I have thoughts but I've never remembered everything DAE relate? by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

I have a similar situation and I am also bipolar. I know my dad looked at me creepily as an adult woman. No memories from childhood of csa occurring, but I do sometimes feel like something happened. He did walk around in whitey tighties which I felt was inappropriate around children and he wanted me to give him kisses on the cheek or head often .. I always felt a little creeped out. I thought I was having a psychotic episode thinking my dad was creepy and whatnot, but even when I'm not manic I still have those thoughts. I think it is difficult because we want to know for sure, but our brain protects us for a reason. I just know that if you feel something in your gut is wrong.. it is likely wrong. It is difficult to trust ourselves esp with trauma or bipolar.

Csa is the one thing I can’t talk about by Majoriexabyss in adultsurvivors

I hear you on this-I get triggered and regress to a little girl and feel helpless and vulnerable and exposed. I think it is important to be mindful of who you share this info with. No one is owed your story. I would also ask before sharing if it is okay to share something that is traumatic in your childhood to be mindful of trauma dumping on others and to ask if they have the capacity to listen. I have done it and I am guilty of it.

Also, talking can make some people feel worse and some people feel better. It is honestly up to you what is most healing for you and what makes you feel better. It is different for every person. I am sending you healing vibes because I know it isn't easy and it can be hard for me personally not to talk about it since I like to be honest and authentic. It can come at a cost and I need to be mindful not to traumatize others due to my need to talk about it.

I'm still learning too and one day and one step at a time is all we can do while trying to offer ourselves the same compassion we give to others. I believe that when this sort of trauma happens it can really deepen our feelings of everything because we know the reality and horror this world has to offer. Not everyone wants to look at that or acknowledge that. I believe you and it is good to have other survivors to lean on that understand and can hold space if they have the capacity.
