Not Coping

I'm not trying to compear, but I was bullied for all of my schooling so you could call that emotional abuse. I noticed things weren't right in highschool, and I had periods of depression. I didn't know it until I was in years 11-12. Then it was most prominent last year, about four months before I was 19.

Funny how I was hoping this year would be a fresh start over here, but that hasn't happened yet. My depression has been so bad.

I am sorry that you have some trauma it's not funny, hey.

Maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but we might have more in common than I realised @Bow.

Have you had any relief since moving?

Hi @amber22

How are you? I feel we haven't talked in a while.

Oh how I wish I’d had some kind of relief since moving @Birdofparadise8

TW- Sexual assault (if a @moderator could stick this in one of them trigger warning boxes that would be great!)

real sorry that you were bullied through school. That’s rough. I was bullied alot too. Year 10 was the worst for me.

I feel bad about complaining about being bullied. I'm sorry @Bow

That's just awful what you've gone through.

How can someone in your family do that? I couldn't imagine anyone in my family doing that.

Did you tell your parents if the person that SA you were in your family?

When you say rehab, were you on drugs or alcohol at some point?

Cancer as well. That's a lot for any one person to go through just one thing, let alone all the others you've faced.

He wasn’t in our family, maybe that was the wrong word. He was just closely connected to our family at the time @Birdofparadise8 . I don’t remember if I told my family about it at the time, but the relationship ended and he wasn’t around anymore.
its heaps hard when abusers are family members that’s for sure. I’ve had both. Family members and other people. Sadly it happens. It complicates things a heck of a lot.

no, it wasn’t drug or alcohol rehab. I’ve never used either. It was a residential program for folks with mental health issues I guess. It doesn’t exist anymore.

Oh, okay still hard to be SA either way. I can't belive it's happened not once but multiple times to yourself.

I couldn't even begin to imagine what that would have been like for you @Bow

Ok, you said rehab, so I thought you meant drugs or alcohol sorry, my mistake.

Yeah believe it

😩

I'm sorry @Bow

Activities @outlander? Other than work, uni and bike riding, not much.

I just found out my boss had a meeting with the coworker @Bow @outlander @tyme

Sounds positive from the email. She also doesn't know I was one of the people that complained. Thank the lords.
