Triggering (Sexual Abuse) - repressed memories

hakoba · 02-09-2007, 04:10 AM

I was wondering if anyone had any experience dealing with repressed memories, especially those of sexual abuse. It would just be really spiffy to talk to someone who can relate in that area... Sorry, I just have no one to talk to about it.

Thank you guys for replying, I'll probably end up contacting at least one of you at some point. I just keep hesitating to send any PMs. I've actually looked at this thread a few times since it got replies but I don't know, every time I sit down to think about it more in depth, I start to remember other fringe details that make it more crap to deal with. It's difficult to know where to start, and maybe I just feel really bad about asking to talk to someone... Uggghhhh, sorry for this.

*hugs* don't be sorry hun, and you don't need to push yourself either. when your ready to talk you will. repressed memories are really hard to deal with and understand, but the mind is a powerful thing and it was protecting itself by repressing stuff, but for some reason your mind thinks it's ready to deal with the things that happened to you, but you don't need to do this alone. talk to people about how you feel, have you thought about counselling at all?
take care sweetie and as everyone else feel free to PM me anytime

And it really got to me...and it still haunts me cuz it happened so many times... at a very young age. But yeah. You can PM me if you want...i feel talking about it helps... ive done it once...but i get scared to do it in person..thru chat i can say everything. So yea...Im here to talk if you would like.
take care sweetie...
