PTSD/Anxiety/dep

[Desidoll]

Mistreated by dad; then sexually abused by someone else! Then abused by employer. I feel so alone and scared. Can’t get out of bed. Constantly feeling fearful 😨

No one to talk to. On Wellbutrin and Xanax.

Desidoll,

I’m so sorry that you’ve been through so much abuse. Have you talked to a therapist about this? Maybe they could help you with your ptsd, and depression/anxiety.

I don’t have any experience in the abuse department but I do have major anxiety/ depression. I know how hard it is to get out of bed. I struggle with that daily. I also struggle with fear. I feel like if we give in to the fear it just gets stronger. So don’t say WHAT IF? Say something like I CAN GET THROUGH THIS. It breaks the fear thinking cycle.

I wish you the best and hope others have better answers for you.

🙏🙏😊

Thank you so much! I too have fear issues. I like your advice of saying I can get through this.

I do talk to a therapist, but it’s not helping much!

Know you are not alone! Thank you for reaching out to me! 🙏❤️

your story sounds exactly like Marie Johnson’s in her book understanding betrayal. It’s on Amazon. Marie is advocating for survivors like you by telling her story. The ending sucks but otherwise good. You won’t feel so alone
