Hi @Former-Member 🌹🌼🌸
What a huge day you had yesterday.
I can imagine that you're feeling emotionally drained today.
That's great that you were able to share your traumatic experience with your husband.
I get the impression that he's the first person to know. That's a huge positive steo to take.
I'm hoping that he will be a huge support for you and it's so good tgat your huge secret is out.
It's so draining to hide SA abuse secrets.
I hid my traumatic abuse for many, many years.
I hope that you are having a restful, recovery day and I hope that you will start to feel some relief soon.
Take care and will keep in touch (if you would like to).
💜💕

Hi @Former-Member & @Former-Member morning to you both. I'm doing ok.
Of course I'd love to stay in touch with you @Former-Member. I read many, many of your thoughtful, caring posts.
@Former-Member how are you this morning hun? Did you get some good sleep? I imagine today you're probably replaying a lot of stuff from yesterday trying to make some sense of it all.

I read that you're having a "time out rest" somewhere @Sans911
I hope it's a good experience for you, haven't read all, but it seems to be going ok for you. I hope so.
I've been up, went back to bed. Given up trying to sleep (panic attacks), so I may as well get moving now. 😊💜

Hi @Former-Member
Thanks for the lovely message. Was quite a big day!
Besides my psychologist and people on this forum, he is the first person I have ever told (well actually the psychologist told him - I couldn't speak!)
We havent really spoken about it again. I think he needs time to process it. I gave him some helpline numbers and told them to ring them if he needs to. One was specifically about SA so it might be good for him to reach out too.
Today I feel emotionally exhausted but I expected that so a PJ day here for me and my kids!
I hope you are going well and would love to stay in contact.
Have you got a thread that you write on?
Nell

Thanks @Sans911 doing ok. Just tired. Yes playing a lot over in my mind. Hubby has gone to work today. Was very quiet last night, I think he was still in shock, It is a lot for him to process as well.
Gave him some helpline numbers (one on SA) and told him to use them if he needs to.
How are you going today? It looks like you have got alot of things happening today

No I don't have a thread @Former-Member
Here's fine. If that suits. 😊
Just about to get another coffee. ☕
Yes, it would have been a shock for your husband. But it's so good that you told him. I hope he can talk about it with you soon.
Pj day sounds good. 👍💜
Resting is the best medicine sometimes .

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
Thats fine @Former-Member
I see that you wrote about panic attacks. I have them too and find them the most debititating thing to have. I also find that they leave you so emotionally and physcially exhausted. Mostly mine are around my CSA but are also around a few traumas I went through in my work place.
I've already had 2 coffee's today so have swapped to peppermint tea for now!!!

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
I try and stick to 2 coffees too 😀
Yes, very draining , panic attacks, I mean. Especially when they happen during sleep.
Was your husband able to comfort you?
My first SA attack was when I was approx 14. I knew nothing back then. Complete shock and kept it to myself until I was in my 30's. I did tell my ex brother back then, but he acted likr it was nothing. So I was too ashamed to tell anyone. Big mistake, but back then things like that weren't heard of. Well not fir me anyway.
So then started the downward spiral.
I don't want to burden you with my "stuff" though. You're still coming to terms with yesterday. 💟
Just mentioning a little, so you know that I understand.
