Thoughts and things

Hi @newhorizons Im sorry for all you have been through and for the difficulties that isolation with your family is making to your recovery. I hope your therapy referral does not take too long to come through. Im glad you found the strength and voice to write your post. Keep reaching out!

I would love to join you for a coffee 😊 ☕☕ 😊 thank you. B

Pro tip, if you're trauma therapy goes anything like mine, they'll include your deceased mother anyway. I didn't think it was much of a problem or traumatizing, but we went through that as well as the abuse that brought me to therapy. If that does happen, you can tell you're family that you're discussing what happened with your mom at therapy and not be lying. However, this might make them start acting sympathetic towards you and trying to help with something you don't really need help with. Honestly, whatever you do in therapy is confidential and you can just tell your family there's been some things lately that are bugging you. If you're under 18 tho, I don't remember if therapists have to tell your parents if you admit to being abused. I know they're mandatory reporters so they have to tell someone. 

Hi newhorizons,

New here and I found this place after listening to lady Gaga "Til it happens to you". I do understand how you feel not be able to tell people you love about what pain your going through and if you attempt too sometimes they don't respond in compassionate and understanding way. Hearing people say it's long over and move on is something for sure we would all love to just get over it, take it out in our system and move on . Apparently that is what we did and now we are suffering from it by not be able to trust anyone, being afraid of judgement and feeling like a burden to the people that we want to share it and help us. You are not alone and I look forward for us to find happiness and be able to live in this world.
