Was beaten, shaken, thrown into walls, screamed at and told I was stupid & hated form 3yrs.old til I left home. Also was raped.

Treatments

Abuse Counseling Not Working

made me worse to keep reliving the past.

Art Working / Worked

helps, but takes a long time, but the healing is permanent.

Getting Angry Somewhat Helpful

it works if i feel the anger and then let it go. denying my anger or any of my feelings hurts me in the end.

Open Financial Challenges

Things have been hard for a long time. I'm doing all I can. But now it's really bad. I have no heat, hot water or oven. I can't afford the propane. The owner is selling the property I live on, and I have no money to move with. My old microwave just broke and I was using it for cooking. I'm mainly looking for prayer & emotional support. I work as much as possible, and I have to believe things will get better.

Treatments

Budgeting Somewhat Helpful

There's not much to budget, but I never eat out or go anywhere. It must help a little, but it's very depressing.

Earn Money Somewhat Helpful

I earn as much as I can. I live in the "middle of nowhere" and am single. What I earn goes right back out again for bills & food.

Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful

Lifts my depression a little. Also sends out good energy:)!

Open Pet Bereavement

My dog was apparently killed by someone here where I live. He was sweet, quiet & shy. We REALLY loved each other. I never saw him again, and I can hardly believe this happened. It was in Sept. This is the one that's really tearing my heart apart. In March my old dog died on my birthday. In June, my old cat, who was my BEST friend died on the couch. And on Sept.27th my cockatiel. I helped him hatch! He was missing from his cage. It was closed. I don't know what could have happened.

Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

I know I have this bad. It's too much to go into now, but the fear at every noise I hear & dreams of the one who hurt me are awful. Will I ever be the same again? Will I ever be able to be at peace & trust someone again? I hope so, but I wonder.

Treatments

Art Working / Worked

Drawing & painting helps, but I'm too scattered to do it right now.

Emotions Anonymous (EA) Working / Worked

Used to belong, but no meetings out here... but reading the literature again is helping a little...

Music Somewhat Helpful

Kind of...

Open Vegetarians & Vegans

I so want to never eat the flesh of life again. Hi! I'm new and need support. I live in 'cattle country' and it makes me sick! Not judging..but I was veggie very young..then wondered away. Recipies & all would help! x0 0x Love the animals!

Iron Somewhat Helpful

Patience Too Soon to Tell

Open Families & Friends Affected By Suicide

My boyfriend & his father both committed suicide in November..first his dad..then 1 year later my Jon...they were my real family. (I carry the last letter Jon wrote me in my purse.) I sometimes think it's my fault he died.

Treatments

Writing Working / Worked

I love to write poems and journals. I also write to his(my love's) sister..and it helps.

Open Rape

I was raped when I was a teenager, then again when I was 23. I've also been abused by men since then, and find it really hard to trust. I usually don't like to think or talk of these sexual issues.
