[quote=Anonymous]OP, you ask, "I know there are many of us, but do you feel so lonely in this world holding onto this?" Yes, definitely. The abuse and trauma I experienced are a huge part of my daily life but keeping it hidden most of the time is very isolating. I have an amazing therapist with whom I can be 100% honest, but the rest of the time, there is almost always something I am keeping quiet or hiding. Nobody, even my lovely, trusted friend, wants to hear that I had memories six times in the last hour or whatever. And people don't realize how much questions involving our families or our youth come up in conversation. What I have found freeing (besides the healing of therapy) is being honest with myself. So often I tried to deny my past and its effects on me, pretending that I wasn't having flashbacks or memories or reactions. Accepting them has made them easier to bear. [/quote]
