Thank you so much and sending hugs to you!
I have only really opened up once through counselling but have never spoken to someone from women’s aid so may be something..
I am so sorry for what you have been through too
It can be so hard and even when I reach out now I question myself it’s so frustrating!
I have never really thought into other types of support so may be helpful!

Thank you x

Hey x

I did have counselling a while ago but maybe it is something I could try again . Yes that is so true think having some coping mechanisms would be really helpful as currently it surfaces and I feel almost consumed by it again which is so frustrating and thank you for replying it just really helps to reach out! Xx

Hi I have been struggling with this recently.. I left an emotionally abusive relationship about (removed by moderator) years ago but never was able to speak about this, I was always pressured to have sex with my ex or it would be ‘you don’t love me’ or make me feel awful and I would always give in and I guess at the time this was ‘normal’ this has now been such a huge struggle as on the one hand I am (removed by moderator) years free of him and I now have a partner who is so respectful and I only recently opened up about this to him as I was so worried he would think there was something wrong with me for not wanting sex.. (he was so supportive on this) but I have struggled so much i feel in silence and has completely wiped anything positive about sex for me does anyone else have this and will it always be this way?
I didn’t even process this until recently and do feel I am struggling to understand this at times too

I moved out of the area and think I do need to change my number as he seems to keep finding it
Just made me feel physically sick and on edge! And seems to have brought it all back for ages I thought I had overcome this and powered on but think it’s all suddenly landed on me and the realisation has happened have no idea why now ! Thank you I’m absolutely terrified about talking to someone have no idea where to start!

Hi thank you so much for your reply.
And sorry you too have had a similar experience I’m so glad I decided to come on here. I agree the mental scars just seem a constant reminder at the times when i feel like im
getting better it hits me again and his recurring presense certainly isn’t helping.
I have actually plucked up some courage to see a counseller tomorrow so im hoping it will give me a way to help deal with everything that has happened or at least try to understand o hope you too can try it I will let you know how it goes! Thank you so much again it really helps to talk to someone who understands x
