I have a difficult time processing things because of my mild autism, and I am doing to talk to my counselor about what I am experiencing when I see her next Thurs.

Thank you, Sam. Two nights ago, my little sister and I fought. Before I went to bed, I had these weird thoughts to text my ex how wrong I was as I doubted everything. Today, I had a hard time concentrating due to stress. Now, I realize I am struggling with dissociation and I am going to tell my coun...

Yes, right now I wish to be alone by myself on an island to die. I cannot go to the college I was looking forward. I am planning on moving out because I hate my family besides my mom.

Thank you for your support. After my sister said hurtful things to me I used the Calm Harm App which I colored a mandala for 15 minutes. It helped me as the urge faded away and I became peaceful. Yesterday, my sister and I apologized and asked for forgiveness since then we have not argued. If we do ...

Yes, how come my sister thinks I am a hoe and pyscho. My dad is a sociopath, schizophrenic, and pyscho. She thinks I was sexually abused/ assaulted bc I put myself in those situations and was stupid. I want to die bc this is damaging my character and spirit. Is there any way I can get advice to deal...

Yes, I blamed myself for being alone with my dad when he was here. With my ex, I blamed myself for going his house and remaining silent as he sexually assaulted me. Now,I am realizing that these circumstances should me what guys I should avoid when I am being sexually coerced. I downloaded the circl...

Thank you for the resources. In counseling, I have been reading a book that my counselor wanted me to read so that we can go through a step process. For a month, I kept repeating and talking about the sexual trauma because I felt free and she will not assume that I liked or wanted what my ex did. On...

Yes, I would love to learn these tools. My counselor is helping me to talk about this and moving forward in a healthy processing way. I have not seen my dad since two years and my mom has not allowed me to contact him. Now, I am an adult and I do not want to contact him because he is an evil and sic...

After a year my dad noncontact sexually abused me, it caused me to become sexually promiscuously as I did not realize my boundaries were violated. My first boyfriend was respectful however his communication skills were poor as he did not communicate with me until he broke up with me. My second boyfr...

Hey Heather, I am doing good and I am enjoying my summer and being single. However, this is still hard to process I am going to start reading Chapter 3 for the book that my counselor assigned me to read and I am going to write my boundaries for dating. This has not been easy as I had more difficult ...

Yes, thank you and it makes sense now.

No, it is ok as long as I do not overly analyze of talk about it with people that know me. However, one of the posts here got me thinking if this is considered rape bc my ex did it without my consent.

Ok, thank you for the explaniation. How come sexual trauma is hard to process and hard to forget about what happened. Is this a form of PTSD possibly?

I have been receiving counseling for the past two months, and she gave me a assignment to read a book about sexual assault healing. I am reading, "Rid of my Disgrace". As I read a chapter, I will discuss it with her as I move forward. Most of my friends are getting tired about this, and my...

My previous dating relationship was emotionally and sexually abusive as my ex sexually coerced me to have oral sex and sex. He sexually assaulted me without my consent and I was silent and could not say anything. I say someone else's post about fingering without consent. My ex fingered and tried to ...

My ex would say hurtful things when I contacted him to let him know I am not scared of him. When he broke up with me, I did not handle it healthy since it was a sexually violating and abusive relationship. He not only did not respect my boundaries, but he did not respect my faith. Throughout the fiv...

When I was 16, my dad sexually abused me (without contact). Seven months ago my ex broke up with me because I was not sexually passionate and future reasons. However, I realized my ex sexually assaulted me as he would touch me or make me touch him without my consent. I froze and was silent during th...

My name is [redacted - HC], and my ex broke up with me seven months ago because of future problems and I was not sexually passionate with him. He would test me by seeing if I would groom my pubic hair to his standards and we would kiss. Kissing was consentual, except when he bite my neck. I felt lik...
