Hi friend I have severe back problems, and it affects my neck. I have often wondered about having this because of the perp that hurt me as a child. Anyway. I have found that it helps to put hot packs on my back like seedy bags. If you don't have any you can just use rice in a sock with a knot at the end and heat it up in the microwave for 3 minutes max. Plus, Tylenol even if it doesn't take the pain away completely it can take the edge of it. I have lived through a labyrinth of pain. It does get better sometimes it takes a long long time. Good news is it does eventually subside. Though

Welcome friend to AS. So sorry what you have been through and that things are tough right now. Once early in my healing a person much older and survivor told me you feel the feelings and get the visions when your body feels safe enough to deal with it. Know you are not alone. This is a very strong community and it has helped me through my healing from the start. I can say today I feel no shame or blame for the CSA I was subject to. There are times I am triggered. But today it is manageable and there are times I am living and enjoying the moment. Keeping you company during this part of y

Hi sitting with you keeping you company. I was in this situation going on a trip to Canada by road from the USA we cancelled it. That was a good thing. I had got a terrible head ache and he was scary and terrible and then super nice. I felt guilty and with so much shame and felt I loved him to bits. We went then to Mount Saint Helen camping it was one of the scariest trips I have ever been on. My advice. Terrified people should not travel period. Terror should never exist in a relationship. Terror is felt in a hostage or servitude scenario when a person is deprived from their freedom,

Hi, Welcome to this safe place of healing. I remembered in my 30's. There is no set time for this to happen. I was told by a person in a chat here in her 50's that memories happen when we are safe enough to start dealing with the trauma and starting the healing process. Know that you are not alone. You have not lost your mind. This is what realizing feels like to start with. It makes us see everything in the past under a different light which can be tough. It is a road you don't need to walk alone. I found being part of a survivor group the most important and second starting therapy wi

@tryingtomoveon Hi welcome to this safe place. Your feelings are very normal. Someone once told me they were normal feelings from the effects and memories of non normal events. You are young and have a life ahead of you that starts now and every day. Make a plan of what you want your life to be like and live that plan. You have made the most difficult step in healing and that is the start of it. Keeping you company on this part of your healing journey. No one is doubting nor second guessing nor judging here.
