Hello Emily
My heart goes out to you to have gone through abuse and you are so young. I am glad you are reaching out here. In your flashbacks are your reliving the abuse? Are you presently in school? Do you have any supports? Family? Friends?
Let us know more about what is currently going on...sometimes it helps just to get things out. Keep writing as there are other teens on this site who can relate to what you may be going through. Let us know how we can best support you.
Yes in my flashbacks it is the abuse re living itself... i am in school.. they have me on a shortened days.. i dont have that much support i have a therapist a counsler at school i have 3 friends who know.. but my family they all know but they dont give me any support... my parents are divorced so yeah. my uncle is living with us.. do you think its ok to tell people little things just to have a little support?

Hi Emily,
Are you seeing anyone? You've got a lot to deal with and it'd help to have someone there to talk to and at least try to help you deal with it all. Since you said you have been diagnosed with PTSD I'm hoping you are seeing someone...
There are lots of nice people here who can sympathise if not empathise with what you have been through so if you would like to get things off of your chest this is a great place to unload.
Generally the flashbacks and hearing/seeing things haunts us as we try to block out what happened... talking through it might help you reach an area of acceptance...
Wow it must be so hard dealing with all of that whilst you are so young. You're doing great though - facing up to it and trying to come up with solutions. I wish you all the best and hope you continue posting here so we can know how you are doing.
I am seeing some one so i guess that is good.. i'm very scared though.. the things that i see there are like shadows they crawl on my ceiling and attack me. the voice they say malicious things nasty things they tell me my mother is going to die and then they describe it..
i have tryed sucide countless times before and i'm thinking about it again but im not going to sink that low
i also had to spend some time in a mental hospital i did no help there..
thank you for caring :D
Sincerely,
Emily
