...See more I feel like I'm afraid of pretty much everything because of the severity of my traumas. I'm afraid of aging. I'm afraid of dying. I'm afraid of pain. I'm afraid of Hell. I'm afraid of being alone and having no friends or spouse ever. I'm afraid of sleeping. I'm afraid of weight gain. I'm afraid of never being mentally well. I'm afraid of health issues. I'm afraid of more abuse. I'm afraid of my family. I'm afraid of never seeing my abusive family again. I'm afraid of punishment. I'm afraid of things getting worse. I'm afraid of needing the hospital. I'm afraid of losing my cat. I'm afraid of failure. I'm afraid of never succeeding. I'm afraid of living...

Childhood abuse on my mind constantly

...See more I can't stop thinking about the abuse or what's been done to me. My anxiety is so high much of the time... I'm so angry... I'm desperate. I'm a Christian woman that just turned 30 and my life has been utterly destroyed. Nothing to show for my life because of the abuse I faced since childhood. I just need somebody that won't leave me. That can understand what I've been through.

TW: sexual abuse from family at a very early age/details

...See more Hello... My name is Tess, and I'm hoping to get some support. I was very young when it began... much of it I have blocked out, but I am almost 100% certain I was molested. What I do remember were the emotional and non-physical abuses... I remember the comments on my body... the exposure to pornography... The leering gazes at my body.... the sexual shaming and names against me (ie. Slut, whore, prostitute, etc.), the barging into my room without warning... and on and on. My last experience was from my mother back in March... She was looking down my shirt when I wasn't looking in her direction- but then I caught her. I'm 29, and it made me spiral. Needless to say... I'm no longer in contact with her and haven't been since then. I just couldn't believe she'd still continue after all this time. I just need support. I just started seeing a new therapist... so...I hope she helps. Thanks for reading.
