Hello - First Post

[sunsea]

Hello, I stumbled upon these Forums from another site.

I'm what I guess would be a survivor of sexual abuse from my grandfather and two paternal cousins, when I was approximately 4-12 years old. I'm 26 now. My teen years were full of bullying, self-harm, suicide attempts, and self-discovery. Since quarantine I've been thinking more and more about my childhood experiences, how it affected me, one single thing that I regret doing...

I know this is a hello post, but I hope that when everything in my mind is more organized, I will share my experience. With all the details. Because one thing I've always felt during opening up with my therapist, is me avoiding the sexual part, and only saying I was abused. And I think posting my full story here, will help take off a heavy load off my chest and mind.

I hope I can learn from the member's experiences in their healing road.
Thank you.
