Don't want to give too many details but I was abused very badly by a clergyperson. He messed with my head. I was very ill afterwards and in trauma. Today I had a visit from a clergyperson, not the one who abused me though. I have been on a knife's edge for a while now due to other things going on in my life and was on the edge of a nervous breakdown. My husband let the clergyperson into the house this morning. Afterwards I could not cope. I can't find the safe place inside my head any more, and I am on the edge so bad. I feel re-traumatised. I keep trying to find some peace some way but I can't. If you can't do anything else please pray for me. This is acute. Thankyou.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I know how you feel, ii actually found this place by typing in 'a safe kind unconditional love forum for abused Christians'... but was sad to see all the trigger stuff... which keeps people from talking openly... i used to be a member of a sexual abuse forum that let it ALL hang out, and that was more comforting than dancing around 'triggers',,, i guess you could say that what triggers me is NOT being able to talk about it openly, so all this trigger stuff IS my trigger! i need a safe place too, a safe place to talk about it

This might help you in the future. Do you have a closet or little hide away spot you could clear for you? If so put a blanket there, some stuffed animals, anything that brings you comfort. This could be your getaway spot. I know it sounds childish but sometimes trying to mentally exscape does not work. Hope this helps.

You probably might not do that well by holding at all in. If you can find a safe, suitably experienced person to begin opening up some very raw experiences I would suggest you do that. Maybe someone here will invite you to make contact, and that could help if you feel comfortable enough for some sharing with them.
