And you’re probably more normal than a lot of us. And because of the horrible things you’ve had to go through… you can now truly enjoy ever moment of life and not take things for granted.

we all go through struggles
you and i have had alot of the same issues
and you’ve overcame them
Congrats! You’re officially better than
everyone whos ever fucked you over

i have been through the same shit, i wish that i can say that the experiences has made me a stronger person, but that would be a lie. these experiences have fucked me over and under.

I’ve also had to deal with similar shit, and in a certain way, I think it’s made me who I am. I feel like it’s such a big part of my life, that I would have turned out completely different if it weren’t for aforementioned shit. I think i’d be more whole and happy but also less compassionate, less forgiving, less loving and even more self-absorbed. I think i learned to make real connections with people, and recognize true beauty in people because of the struggle, depression and broken-ness.

I’d also add, a pivotal part of my “recovery” was talking about it, with someone trustworthy. The first time I did, it lasted all night, we talked and talked and talked, and she let me cry and cry and cry and it was like poison being drained out of my being. I was reborn.

This is my secret too. I’m 20. I went through different things- depression, drugs, sex, suicidal thoughts and attempts, getting kicked out of my house, being homeless for 2 weeks, getting hit by a car, going to rehab, going on prozac, getting raped by someone I trusted as a friend, and bulimia. I feel so different than other people, but no can tell. Everyone is always shocked when I tell them what I’ve been through. But I know they can’t really possibly understand how these experiences have shaped me, made me the person I am today.
I have scars, some physical, mostly emotional. I never want to forget where I’ve been and what I have survived. I am the happiest I have ever been (except when I was a little girl) and I stopped taking my prozac 6 months ago because I didn’t need it anymore. I am excited about life again and I have stopped being so destructive towards myself. If anyone who has been through difficult times and would like to talk about it, or trade advice, my email is almostethereal@yahoo.com.
I may not understand everything, but I do understand alot.
My prayers and positive thinking go out to those who are viewed as ‘normal’ by everyone else when they have been through more than most go through in a lifetime.

If I met you, I would probably fall in love with you.

i’m sorry that happened to u. i hope nothing else bad happens 2 u

You need to tell your Mom about the boyfriend if you did not already so she knows. She also needs to know about the abortion. Where is your Mother? Average and normal life? Right.

wow, i was just browsing for fun, but this touched my heart and made me cry

blah! this sucks…. I know it’s hard to believe know, but time heals all wounds. Sometimes it takes a good bit of time, but you’ll see.

In the words of Yoda “there is no why”.

I got abused as a kid, and later on, raped by a stranger. There is no reason why those things happened, it’s the abstract cruelty of life.

You can’t focus on the negative, though I know it’s hard. you have to think about the blessings, keep your eyes on what’s ahead and what you do have going for you.

If you have the ability, get some therapy. if you can’t afford it, see if there’s a psych training school that has an outreach clinic. Regardless, hang in there kitty!

congratulations. and thank you.

It’s probably not good that no one knows what happened to you, but it is good that you don’t let the bad things that have happened in your life keep you down forever. I hope that you continue to live a happy life.
