Hi Angela2,

I’m so sorry that you’re feeling this low. It sounds like you’ve been trying really hard, which is pretty amazing, but I can understand how frustrating that can make it when it feels like things aren’t getting any better. It does take time to heal from domestic abuse and some support with that healing can be really helpful.

You might want to have a look at the resources on the Bloom website, for example. They were developed in partnership between survivors and mental health experts to support with healing from trauma. Rape Crisis provide support for anyone who’s experienced any kind of sexual violence at any point in their life. You can search for your nearest Rape Crisis Centre on the website and refer yourself for support there, or you can use their 24/7 confidential helpline or live chat to speak to an advisor. You could also reach out to your local domestic abuse service to see if there’s any support that they can offer, some have specialist counselling services.

I’m glad that you’ve found this space to share support with other women. I hope that posting in the knowledge that people who read it will understand helped.

Take care and keep posting,
Lisa

Hi Angel 2

I am also a survivor of abuse and sexual abuse. I say abuse because I have survived so much… Emotional, physical, cohesive, n********t, financial, gas lighting.

I am severely depressed and I now have anxiety too… I can’t sleep at night. I only have 1 close friend because I dont trust people outside my family. Everyday is the same for me. I have no interest in myself or anything, no motivation to do things, I am not eating properly.

My head is just a mess, I can’t remember things properly… Like you say it is very lonely.

You are not worthless, and I have read that you have to be kind to yourself… This is something I really struggle to flat the moment.

Sending gentle hugs, and I want you know you are not alone going through this… Keep posting. Take care
