Tough Time

[Suli13]

Hi. I've been really out of focus for the past couple of months. Being forgetful and just going with the flow.

I've been avoiding my friends. As much as possible I don't want to attend gatherings. Talking to people makes me anxious.

Recently I keep on remembering I was physically abused as a child. I feel very sad, I want to cry, there's just no tears coming, it hurts more.

I'm not suicidal but I keep on seeing pictures in my head getting myself gone, and it happens randomly. Im really confused.

I don't want to reach out with my family because I feel they won't understand. I live with my folks but I didn't grow up with them, I was raised by a relative.

I feel good there's a community like this. Sharing thoughts and getting ideas how to get by. Good to know im not alone.
