After 30 years of silence, I now acknowledge that I am a survivor of Childhood Sexual Abuse. Sharing my writing and art helps me to heal.#CPTSD#DDNOS#Survivor
I got a tattoo today! It represents my mental health journey. The branches are the fragmentation of the self due to trauma in childhood and the color is the renewal that happened for me after I had my daughter and began treatment. A big moment for me.
@DeepHydrangeas I have #DDNOS. It's been a journey. The hardest part for me is trying to navigate memories and my brain without knowing what really happened and what didn't. I hope you have found healing.
I’ve chosen to make my writing about survival of childhood sexual abuse anonymous. It seems a part of me still feels she needs to protect the abuser because coming out with it would ruin his meticulously designed image. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to come forward. #csa
@katieemorann I just started anonymously posting my writing about my journey as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. So far sharing my experience has been healing. https://t.co/9BANvcxDjR
@HannahEHarris12 I faced this not for treatment for cancer but for routine care during pregnancy. The whole experience was very triggering and there seemed to be a total lack of awareness around it hy care providers.
I just heard someone say.
The reason you isolate when you’re struggling is because you were left alone as a child to deal with your emotions.
I felt that, I felt that a lot.
Damn
