      It’s a rough time. Thank you❤️

  2. It would be nice to have a chance to sit down and deal with my current issues without more shit piling on top of it. I know it’s life but this whole journey is becoming to much again. It’s like walking down a path of broken glass, your feet are bleeding and all cut up and you turn down another path only to find out there’s more glass on the road. You don’t have any other way to go so you have to keep going forward even though there’s glass on the road and if you go back there’s still gonna be glass on the road! To add to the bullshit I now might be a diabetic. I’m experiencing

      @snmls I did some meditation. I feel more grounded. Thanks 😊 

  4. All these intrusive thoughts swimming through my head again. It’s agonizing. I really feel I can’t trust a lot of people. I feel like if I opened up even more with every body They’d think I was crazy or gross or perverted. When I say open up I’m talking about my experiences with men after I was assaulted. I got into some weird things. It makes me question my preferences and if everything I love about sex and relationships comes from a dark and twisted place as I said in my last blog post. you love oral sex because Of M You like an aggressive man because M forced you to Perfo
  5. It feels like the last few years have been nothing but pain. Be it Physical, emotional or  spiritual pain  it just always seems to be there. I’m really feeling it today. I still have doubts about if there is something truly better in the future.

    Twisted -TW

    Everything seems so distorted and tainted. I feel like my relationships and sexuality come from a dark place. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been traumatized and have been in bad situations. It’s hard to talk about because It makes me feel sick. Relationships, desires, and sexuality are suppose to make you feel liberated not like there’s something wrong with you. I got more promiscuous after I was sexually assaulted. I went on dates with men I barley knew and would let the man do what he wanted. Then I craved something different entirely. The way I can best explain it is ap
  7. Ptsd is killing me lately. I just want to feel normal and comfortable again.

      Today is better for sure . Thanks Sam . 

  8. @mango_star1 it was defiantly troubling For the moment. I agree that people need to be mindful about Their actions at work and I think SH is something that needs to be talked about more in the workplace. I’m just glad I could carry on with my night. Thanks for the post! 😀

    Goodbye you.

    Dear you, it’s been about five years now. You were in your thirties and I was 18 when we met. On our first date we had Chinese food and talked about ourselves, our families and the typical first date mumbo jumbo. Then we went back to your place and Learned more about each other in the physical sense. This was the basis of our relationship. Sex. This was fine at first but let’s be honest, after five years of the same type of sex, the same acts and circumstances etc.. things quickly became stagnant. Yet you seemed perfectly fine with things. This is partly my fault for not speaking

    The rollercoaster

    Before I was assaulted I experienced depression, anxiety, happiness, All emotions that we all have experienced at one point or another. With Depression, irritability and anxiety being common in the teenage years. It wasn’t till after my assault I saw a drastic change in my mental health. Life became a blind fury of feeling energetic and wonderfully content, not a problem in the world. Then time would slow and I felt like I slumped down into the deepest depression I had ever felt in my life. When it was coupled with the paranoia I experienced it became unbearable at times and life was like a
  11. I feel like I’m further along In my sexual assault journey but there are still some days my ptsd gets the better of me. last week at work two male supervisors had come into the restroom I was cleaning at work and where talking with me. Little do they know it had caused a panic attack. I don’t like feeling cornered by a man or men. It freaks me out. After they left I had to take some time to breath and just focus on work . I reminded myself I was safe and soon after I felt much better. I feel bad because it’s nothing against anyone and it’s so irrational to feel like In regular day to da
  12. A day without my demons in the  background would be heaven.... 

  13. The past two weeks have really opened my eyes. Even though I’m tired I need to keep going forward. .... 

  14. I’m alone in this. I need to accept it.

      I think you can feel lonely even with people around and all you need is someone who understands how you feel. I dont really know but I am willing to try.

      I forced myself to do some trying that triggered it. Now I’m just wondering if it was the right move😕

      I think sometimes we just test ourselves. To see if the trigger still has that affect. We hope it doesn't, but we don't know unless we make ourselves try.

      Hoping you are better today, Selma. Still sitting with you. :hug: 

  16. I feel like my mind is melting and I’m trying to fight just to keep sane. Everything I thought mattered just doesn’t seem to anymore.

      That all sounds so overwhelming, Selma. Please keep fighting and know that I’m sitting with you, if that’s okay. You’re strong, and you can do this. You don’t have to do it alone. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. ❤️

      Will do mave thank you for your support ❤️

  17. Maybe it’s better if I just keep to myself and not let them in. 

  18. Today can still be good if not great. 

  19. Day by day... one foot in front of the other... it has to get better

  20. This morning is alright. My mind feels a bit more settled 

  21. Time to reboot 

  22. Stuck inside my own head is truly a punishment 

  23. I feel to weak to keep doing this

  24. I am determined to have a good day and not give into my depression or my demons. 

  25. Just stumbling through the mess completely on autopilot.
