I really don't know how this works, but I'm going to try posting this. 

New to the site and I'm looking for comfort in knowing that how I feel isn't unusual and that things do get better. It will be exactly a year tomorrow that I was given a haunting memory that seems to dominate every day life for me and has turned me into someone I don't like being. 

I was so confident, out going, strong and independent before my incident  (not overly sure on what I can and cannot say) and now I'm an anxious nervous self harming wreck! :z

Hi Rebs,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry you have experienced trauma, but you have found a very supportive site. You will find the members here really do understand.  It is never right for someone to hurt you this way, but these after effects you feel are unfortunately normal. Take your time and look around. What you say and don't say is up to you and your comfort level. It takes a lot of courage to take this first big step, I wish you many more forward steps in your healing journey.

Mary

Welcome to AS, Rebs. I am sorry that someone hurt you a year ago, and that you are suffering so much. A year is not a long time in terms of healing - you will get better over time, and regain some of your independence etc. I think you are very strong btw. It takes a strong person to survive this stuff, and posting on here can be very scary so that also takes courage.

Hope you find AS helpful! :notalone: :youcanheal:

Thank you all for your replies.

Although I wish there weren't I'm relieved to know there are ppl like me and there are ppl who understand what I'm feeling. 

My family are very supportive but trying to explain is very hard.
