Scaredcat

I am a survivii of neglect sexual abuse, physical, emotional abuse. I am in a great home life now. But, I never dealt with the past. The toll has been taken. Since I stopped drinking nearly 17 months ago, my reality is far harder to deal with. I am on four antidepressants and anxiety medication. I suffer from childhood and adult PTSD and severe depression. I can say, that today I am happy to be alive.
I am in trauma therapy which is traumatic in itself. I am the world's best faker, only those that know me have a clue. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hello Scaredcat, and Welcome!!

Congratulations on your nearly 17 months! That is quite an accomplishment and shows that you value yourself--and you should!

I'm so sorry about all you have been through in the past. You deserve to be treated with the utmost respect, love, and kindness!

Please come here and vent any time....welcome, again!

I am not sure if scaredcat is apt for you. To share such info shows true courage. My story MAY be like yours- but the only people who could have truly verified the 'maybe's' have long since passed on.
For me- a psychologist and CBT - although very slow and hard (or so it seems at times) is helping me make real progress.
Support to you.
