Hello Emily

 

I am so sorry that these things happened to you and you are so very young.  There are other teens here who have gone through these things too.  You are not alone in this.

 

Do you have any supports?  Friends, family, or a therapist to help you?  You need someone to be there for you.

 

What support or advice would you like us to give to you?  If you would like to write more we are here to listen. 

 

I am very glad you are reaching out here.

Hi there, Emily - glad you found our site.  Even though you have gone through all this terrible stuff, it is so good that you are getting treatment now - it will save you years of emotional hard work later on in life.  Are your parents supportive, or are they part of the problem?  Like Merely Me said, I hope, too, that you have a therapist you see regularly so you can work through these things.  I have also experienced the same type of abuse and the same diagnosis and I didn't really start realizing what was wrong until I was about 40, so you're one up on me!

 

Know that you can write here any time you want, about anything.  You might or might not get a response right away, but be assured that people are hearing you.  Let us know if there's anything we can do right now.  You take care.

Hi Emily,

Like Merely Me and Judy I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through such things and I hope you are seeing someone. It's hard to pick ourselves up when we've been treated so poorly but I'm glad to hear that you are fighting back from such a young age - the sooner you can try to get on top of all of the pain the better.

 

I'd love it if you continued to write here, there are some wonderful people here who can at least be a listening ear and at times can give some great advice.
