CPTSD/Disorders of extreme stress not otherwise specified

I know it’s going to be a horrendous process for me to work through, especially when I have to relive sexual abuse from 20 years ago, the abuse I do remember as other types of abuse have been suppressed, but my nervous system can’t even have sex anymore.

I feel like my life has been taken from me from ignorance with the system and I’ve been reacting against that.

How many times do you have to tell mental health professionals you’ve been abused in your life before they take you seriously?

No one believed me because I’m a woman.

That’s what hurts. As Ernest Hemingway said – Write what hurts.

So this is a message to you Lara, Steve, and Denise…

I know you called me a liar…

You’re now experiencing the effects. Surprise.

Do you wear ignorance like a trophy or something?

Face your own shadows. Don’t tear down abuse survivors because you’ll one day mess with the wrong woman.
