Very Nervous

[Guest CrashingNaTisha]

Hi everyone, my name is NaTisha and I'm new here. This is the first time I've ever joined a group like this so I'm very nervous about it. I'm trying to begin the healing process because I know if I don't I will forever live this dreadful life. I'm so tired of waking up every morning only to dread to face another day. I want to not be afraid of everything and everyone and I want to learn to trust people. I was sexually abused as a child and as a teenager and I have depression, ptsd, ocd, and the list could go on. I also self injure which I'm trying desperately to stop but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm really looking forward to finding people that can understand the things and thoughts that go on inside my head. The nightmares and flashbacks that make life so unbearable at times. Thank you for reading this and I'm so sorry to everyone else that has had to go through these awful things, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Hi, I just wanted to thank everyone for your warm welcome. It's so strange for me to be able to connect with so many people that understand the feelings that I have. Again thank you, and if anyone ever wants to talk, feel free to message me on MSN or yahoo.
