      How are you wonderful guys doing?! Right now, for not drinking, it's a day at a time. I cratered and drank last night. But, hope all is better for you guys. Hey, if ya ever wanna come to Dallas, Texas give us a ring. We live in downtown, in the arts district. Putting company up would me no problem. Dallas is AMAZING! Everything you'd ever want to see is here. And, it's pretty cheap - Still, it's amazing. I only moved here last year. I'm a native of New Orleans, until the hurricanes washed her away - - In the interim, after moving here, I'm sill learning the City. And it is fabulous. In any event, the invitation is open. Let me know! Love, cori 214-828-1387 - home phone

    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      my childhood consisted of being mentally abused and physically abused. i had to watch my mother being treated the same...totally helpless...my stepfather was a law within himself at home..we all lived in fear...the effects of that on me now consist of anxiety, depression,self worthlessness, alcoholism and stress

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      i spent 10yrs of my childhood mentally/ physically abused. seems to have its own imprint on me that just stays there like a heavy weight. i suffer from bad anxiety/depression. im considering charging my stepfather, im out of options. Some of the abuse was being whipped with root end of bracken fern on bare skin. pulled out of the shower naked held and beaten until my backside & legs were bruised/bleeding.thrown into walls. mum held at gunpoint in front of us & beaten. how do mental scars heal?

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      they helped to understand how my emotions work. ive been on antidepressants with counselling assistance. it has helped but the anxiety and depression keep recurring.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      talking helps but i find it brings out a lot of supressed pain and feels as if it makes me worse
