sunshine4x Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi. I recently found this site as I was trying to help other survivors like myself... and in trying to help them I realized that I hadn't healed at all... I had just kept burying everything under me and ignoring it. So, when I tried to help others and found myself so raw that I would burst into tears just thinking about things and knowing that I still have night terrors every night I decided maybe I should try this site and maybe I could find some help here... My name is Lori. I am a survivor of mental, emotional, verbal, sexual and physcial abuse by both family and an ex boyfriend. Link to post

sunshine4x Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thank you all for the warm welcomes and hugs I appreciate it and I am happy to be here... even though I tend to cry at the thought of logging in... although I think that is just a stage and I'm okay with the tears because I have always had a "no cry" rule but I think they mean healing now, it's just getting through all the "muck" to start said healing, right?? Thank you so much. Link to post
