It is not ever an emptiness

but a numbed, sacred ache

that will never know grace or relief

but grief

for all that was taken

when we were young.

Short but sweet, It never leaves you. You have to deal with it no matter what the degree of abuse, for the rest of your life. Question is, is it dealable, or do you need support from outside sources? We all deal with it in our own ways. I wish all prayers and hugs!!! Somehow the cycle of abuse has to stop...:(

Thank you for being a part of AnxietyConnection.com Whether you are a regular visitor or just stop by once in a while, there is a great deal of information on the site, no matter if you are dealing with anxiety on a daily basis or just trying to reach out and help a friend or family member that is struggling with anxiety.

I wanted to take a moment to tell you about the site and how our AnxietyConnection community may be able to help you.

In addition to all the articles, we also have ongoing discussions in our Share Posts. You can read posts from other people that may be in a similar situation. You can post your own question or you can share your experiences with others. In order to view the most recent Share Posts, go to the main page at: http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety You will see a green button on the right hand side: "See Latest Share Posts."

If you find a Share Post that you would like to respond to, please feel free to share. You are also able to read someone's profile to find out more about their situation. You can also subscribe to an individual's posts. This way, any time they post, you will receive an email notification and can respond to them. It is also possible to send them a private message if you prefer not to share information publicly but want to let them know that you understand.

I will be regularly posting new Share Posts with helpful information. Please subscribe to my Share Posts so that you can be emailed whenever new information is available on the site.

If you would prefer to just browse all of the members of AnxietyConnection, click on the button for "See Latest Share Posts" and then click "All Roles" under View Share Posts. (Or if you prefer, just browse through members that share your situation.)

We also have a Question and Answer section. Many people post a quick question on medications or symptoms of anxiety. Please check and see if there may be a question you can answer. Often, when someone posts a question, they are looking for feedback from other people struggling with anxiety.

It is important for patients to receive an accurate diagnosis and medical treatment to manage the symptoms of anxiety. It is equally important for patients, and their families, to have a support system available. The support of a community provides a place to be accepted, to share triumphs and failures, to swap ideas and strategies for coping with anxiety on a daily basis. Through this community, people can take a proactive role in managing symptoms and creating successes in their lives. AnxietyConnection is such a community.

I hope that you find this site to be helpful in your situation and please feel free to send me a message should you have any questions.
