It's Just Starting To Come Back


Recommended Posts

Well. This is a place that I never thought I would be... I've just been hit with these memories from about 4 years ago, and am feeling sick, anxious, depressed and just can't seem to get it out of my head. I know it's not just going to go away and everyone is different but does anyone know if the feeling of drowning will ever stop?

Hey brokentofixed39 welcome to AS.


I can't say the feeling of drowning will ever go away completely. For me I always expierence shame, fear, guilt, depression, and isolation to some degree and there are times when these feelings are absolutely crippling and I can't do anything but reflect on past events, and I doubt this will ever go away. However there are also times when I am actually happy, and as I keep healing I am experiencing feelings of happiness more and more frequently.

As you are healing just remember, that it was not your fault, you arenot alone, You are loved, You have a purpose, and you are a Survivor.

Anyways if you ever need to talk or just hae questions feel free to message me I'm always up for talking!

Everything is so new to me as I have only started to remember what happened to me this week so as I'm sure you well know that this is very very tough. I don't feel like I'm worth anything and that I have let my wife down in some way, I know it is stupid to think that as I never even knew her when this happened but with me supressing it I made mistakes that were clearly not me.

Hello Brokentofixed,

Welcome to AS. I am so sorry for the trauma that you have gone thru. The feeling you described, for me, comes and goes. I think reaching out and sharing does help, tho, so you've come to the right place for that. You will find members here very supportive and kind. I wish you well on your healing journey.

Hello and welcome to AS. I'm really familiar with that feeling too. I find that sometimes it seems all encompassing, but other times it's more on the back burner. I am sorry for whatever brought you here.
