whatisleft09, I really relate to what you are saying. How far along are you? If you ever need anything I've been through pregnancy twice. And all I can say is that although pregnancy and delivery are really hard and prob much harder on us who are survivors, it is so so worth it. Thank you so much for writing to me tonight. It means SO MUCH to me. I don't think I can really tell you how much.

Thank you everyone. I am overwhelmed with the support and how kind each of you are. I am going to try the grounding thing. I usually try only one of those things to ground myself so maybe doing all of them and then going over them again backwards will help. Thank you! Also, we moved not that long ago so unfortunately the doctor I am seeing is a new one. It is a female which helps but it sucks to have to go get checked for this sort of thing by a new person. I don't have anyone that can go with me to the appt. My husband would prob have to stay with our children...we have two precious b

Thank you so much for replying. I just feel like I am going out of my mind right now. I am not comfortable in my own skin at all right now. I just want to take a hot shower and wash myself over and over but I KNOW that I could wash until my skin felt raw and I would still feel dirty and like I can't be in my own skin right now. What do you do when you feel like that? It makes me want to hurt myself in some way. I HATE me at times like this.

Hi All, I am 24 turning 25 on the 6th! I have been hurt my entire childhood up until 16 (the last time I remember it happening) by a cousin who is ten years older than me and an uncle. I am really hurting today and I just don't know where to go. I feel so alone in this. I am having some 'female problems' and am feeling some pain 'down there'. It is making me feel like I did back then. I just want to bawl my eyes out! I feel like I just got hurt even though it has been years. I don't know where to go tonight or what to do. I feel completley overwhelmed with my feelings.

Hi Nicole! I just joined a couple days ago and it seems everyone here is very nice and supportive. I like the atmosphere here thus far.........very safe. I am twenty one years old and have an eleven month old baby girl. So, we are both mommies! Take care and WELCOME!

Oh gosh, I am overwhelmed by you guys! Thank you so much. I've never been in a community where ppl understood this kind of stuff before. I am glad there is such a place to come. You guys are being so wonderful -- I feel special -- he he.

Thank you for all the wonderful replies. You are all so welcoming.

Hi...I'm kinda nervous posting here but I need some support. Have been sexually abused for many years by a relative. I am twenty one years old and a mommy to eleven month old girl. I am also a wife to a US Marine. I used to go to therapy when I was living in chicago (hometown) but had to end when we moved here to CA due to the military. I have just called this therapist after keeping in touch by updating her through emails and am in process of setting up a phone session for next week as I feel I need to talk to someone right now. I wasnt ready for the two years I saw this therapist
