Alone and scared

[Karisqq]

Somehow abuses make me realise that seeking emotional supports like comfort and reassurance with the closed one is the worst tactic, since the abuser is someone who supposed to love you and contribute the house as a safe place to live in, but it turns out, they hurt you badly. It’s very disappointing, and heartbreaking. And I feel lonely and scared since I’ve no one to lean on, I feel like I’m desperately needing a safety net, and sb to lean on, but another voice also tells me that no one can save me except myself, but I don’t feel like I have the ability to do it now, since I’m so, broken and dysfunctional.

Hi Karisqq,

Thank you for your post. It can be really difficult to reach out for support if you feel you don’t have anyone safe, or a safe support network to turn to. It is scary but setting boundaries is also about you protecting yourself- you are not broken or dysfunctional- you are a survivor of trauma.

Best Wishes

Lisa

Hi Karissq  read your post and want to let you know your not alone. Lots of us feel like you do at times and yes it’s scary! But  all I can say is… believe in yourself! And don’t be hard on yourself for feeling weakened sometimes by it all. That’s why this place is helpful, strangers to talk to who understand and empathize sometimes by reply.  Lisa is right, You are a survivor! Pick yourself  up dust yourself off and live the best life you can. Life is precious!
