Hi, a few days ago my dad has abused me and it has affected me mentally, emotionally and physically. I’ve already talked to my parents and some friends to comfort me. I feel like it’s too early to ask for help from a therapist or psychologist. I do not know how to address this issue any advice

Hi Sports789, my advice is to tell someone outside your family. An adult
who can be your advocate. No one deserves to be abused especially a child.
It's not too early to talk with a therapist or psychologist. This is already
affecting your mental and physical state. I'm glad you opened up to us.
We want you to be safe. We care xx
Hi, I am sorry this has happened to you. Abuse of a child by any adult is such a breach of trust, especially by a parent who should keep you safe. Please know that it ok to have these feelings and emotions.
I agree with Agora that professional support from a therapist is good at any time, but only when you are ready. If you are needing protection, you might need to report the matter to your police station. The staff there are specially trained to deal with family issues and can provide so phone numbers and referrals to services for your age group. Big hugs from me to you💓
Hi Sports789.
You have a lot of strength and courage writing about your child abuse experience. I agree 100*% with Agora1 💯. I'm glad you spoke to your parents and I'm thinking to talk to a **trusted*" adult **not** in your family that may offer some helpful suggestions and/or a supportive listening ear.
It's never too early to talk to a Therapist. The earlier you talk to one, the easier you are to heal from this terrible experience and explore your feelings.
That is my suggestion.
I'm always available to talk Sports 789. This is not your fault. You did not deserve this. No child /adult ever deserves being abused in any way. 👍

Sorry you went through that... For what it’s worth, I’m 25 now, and I wish when I was younger that I had gone to therapy because now I see I really could have used it. Good job reaching out to talk about the experience. 👏🏽
