About Me
I am currently unemployed after suffering a breakdown earlier this year because of a sexual assult that happened in 2006.. I have ptsd from severe childhood abuse, both physical & sexual, as well as abuse into adulthood....update, I have now begun to have severe panic/anxiety attacks in the past few months. It has gotten so bad that I cant even leave my bedroom. I wont leave the house for anything, turned off my phone & wont answer my door out of fear. I know this isnt normal, I used to be very outgoing & fearless, will I ever get back to normal again? I am so scared...
Interests
I love animals, pool, music, driving to 'nowhere' just to get away....
