Anger.

[RileyG]

I feel so much anger towards someone who was very abusive to me. I just want to move on with life. My parents are not supportive with me seeking counseling to help me cope with PTSD, anxiety, depression etc. I am 20 years old.

I'd rather not go into too much detail - it's not important.

Painful, unwanted memories are the worst.

BTW, I was diagnosed with PTSD around September or October of 2015...it's been a very painful, rough journey.

It can take a long time to recover from abuse issues. I'm sorry your parents are not supportive. God is though! Stick close to him as best you can. He can help you heal. He has helped me heal. It has taken a long time though.

Thank you.

 

[well hey]

I like this scripture.."though my mother and father forsake me, the Lord will take me in."

I truly hope that you seek out help regardless of how your parents feel about it. You need it.

As young as you are, I can imagine that money might be an issue, so your parents' support would be beneficial. But you could seek free or inexpensive counseling to maybe help tide you over, if nothing else it could provide someone who is caring and supportive to listen to you. Some sources could be people in ministry, counseling/psychology interns, non-profit organizations, sometimes work places or colleges/universities provide counseling services.

I have been in poverty most of my life, but I can almost find someone who can give me some kind of therapuetic or spiritual counseling for free or inexpensively. It isn't always the best, but sometimes it is exactly what I need, or at least it is just enough to keep me going until I can find someone else who can help me a little better. I almost always have a counselor of some kind.
