• 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.

ever since i was a little child i was abused, physically sexually and emotionally/mentally, the incestuous abuse was perpetrated by my mother at first, then her friends. I was tortured many ways in my life and It started very early in life, most of it didnt end until i was 17 or 18, i want to be vague and leave thing out i am just scared. I was wipped, burned, forced to endure hundreds of enima's against my will, beaten until i passed out, thrown down stairs, been tied to beds and sexually abused been given drugs to make me more easy to abuse, i was just a kid, i aske myself why, why did those people hurt me, why? what did I do to deserve that?:(:cry:in foster homes I was tortured physically, mentally and sexually abused,

there is so much more, i just feel sick so i need to go to bed, i

:hug: (if ok?). Well done for sharing that and thank you. That is an amazing step you just took, of even mentioning just a portion of it.

You definitely did not deserve any of it. No-one deserves to be hurt like that, especially children.

Please try to take care of yourself and continue posting when you feel comfortable doing so. You are doing really well.

I grew up with violence, but brother I am so sorry you had to go through something so horrible. Having children of my own now I just can't understand how someone could hurt a innocent being.
If you don't mind me asking what your relationship with your mother is like now?
Have you seen a professional to work through these things?

I'm married to a man that had a similar past. There is alot to work through, and there are things he does and reactions he has that aren't fair to ME.. BUT, through it all and with the Lord, we are working towards a complete healing.

So very brave of you to 'speak' those words ..

I'm praying for you, my friend, and understand (from a little different perspective)

**hugs**

I cant speak to her, if I see her or hear her voice i want to throw up and it is very hard for me and will mess with my head for days even weeks after.

i am starting counseling in a few weeks, I am very scared.

I am so very glad to hear that you are seeking help. I didn't have anything like you went through but I did see a lot of violence and pain. The process of getting it out is painful but working through these things can be healing as well. You deserve a good life. Are you seeing a Psychiatrist, or a Physiologist?

neither, lol, he is a counselor, he has a PhD, and a few other letters behind his name, but he is a Christian counselor that has more years of experience than I have even been alive, he knows how to help people who have been severely abused, which is what i need, because I guess you can say I am not the average survivor, I have been through more than I could ever post here, some things are just to painful and degrading to post.

Praying for you, sweetie.
Talking about it is so very hard... you are so brave posting what you have here... I hope that will make talking about it a little bit easier when the time comes.
Just take one day at a time and be very gentle with yourself, sweetie.

*gentle hugs* (if hugs are ok?)

I took picture from this forum : )) Beautiful isn't?

Do you like photography? It seems that you have talent for that ....

I hope that you will be ok....
Your case remind me of mine childhood...I grow up, not knowing what is love, mercy, kind word, forgiveness....
And I became women with lots of shame and guilt inside me.....
I had LOTS of problems with myself, people, life....One day I decide that I wont to be happy and to deal with all this...
Start to pray, fasting and now God give me psychologist how wants to help me for free!!!!
Now I'm doing fine, recovering from my past, starting to feel happy....

Is rally brave from you that you started to speak about your past...That is BIG step for you....
But first GOD....and you will change, your life will change.....

I will pray for you.....
Like i wrote, is many people like you that understand you and wiling to help
