have an actual appointment weds. at 10 am and I'm really nervous .

When I figured out the abuse the country was in a recovered memory feeding frenzy so I figured I couldn't trust anyone and I could heal myself if I read every damn book about psychology ever written -----that didn't work out too well and the Psych med revolution was in full swing ......Oh well hopefully there is some path out of this movie in my head that only goes away for short intervals.

The worst thing for all of us is that we just want it to go away and for thousands of years the way people did that was to make believe it never happened and be " strong " rape is rape it doesn't matter if someone held you at gun point or cried when they raped your body and soul if you were 3 ,13 or 70 it's something that can't be left to secrets and denial .

this is a taboo subject that scares a lot of people but I'm tired of being afraid and feeling like I'm worthless and in turn being a burden and depressed all the time.
