Re: Am Not Coping
I personally think it is a good option for you @Snowie considering this has been going on for you for some time now and we both know how hard it has been to get through some days. You made it to the family holiday and seem to actually had a good time - your kids certainly seem to and that is what you wanted for them - now time to look after you too Hon.
@Boonana Doesn't take me long to go to the shop - it is pretty close - so back now

Re: Am Not Coping
My history in that regard is a bit more complex than that Hon - lots of abuse in my past so sexual harassment is just one very small component of that @Boonana So yes I do know how hard it is to deal with but those flashbacks you are having but you are safe now and that is important to know.

Re: Am Not Coping
I have had a lot of help to put strategies in place to be able to deal with it the best I can @Boonana There are still times that I feel that fear but on the whole now I can leave the past in the past. One of the most important things for me was to realise that I am infact safe now - those people in my past are far away from me and can only continue to do damage if I let them - that takes a lot of retraining your own brain - knowing that although the future is not certain, for now I am in a safe place where I feel comfortable being. It was by no means an easy road for me to get here though - it took a lot of therapy and changes in the way I looked at things. I guess for you it is also about finding that safe place where you can also work through some of those thoughts - it is not easy - I am not going to pretend it is - but it is possible to get a place where you find more peace within yourself and also within the world around you.

Re: Am Not Coping
Have you spoken to your counsellor about this @Boonana? It is not something you need to go through on your own.
