Welcome to the forum.

I got a good night sleep last night. It had been awhile and I feel a little better just from the sleep. Thank you all so much for your kind welcome. I really like what I have been reading on the message base. I also like this message base because you can personalize the message to fit your personality. The intake appointment went well. Even though we were just discussing basic information so the therapist could understand why I was there, I still felt a little better. It is nice to have a safe place to unload. I am getting that same feeling from this message board. Thanks again!

I can't sleep. Lately my sleep pattern has been like this. I have found a sexual assult center in my community and I have an intake appointment tomorrow after work. Just when I thought I was over all of this, here I am again. I am a survivor of sibling sexual abuse. The abuser is my brother that is 8 years older than me. I feel like I spent most of my early 20s in therapy but all those feels never really went away. I tried denial but that only works for so long. Money has been my main issue for not seeing a therapist sooner. The services I am seeking are free so I will check them out.
