I can't imagine what that must feel like, antigua. You are very strong and brave, and you WILL get through this. I would urge you to keep going. Take it easy, let your T help you, learn to accept the caring and gentleness in the world. Because you deserve it, and you should have had that safety and gentleness and caring before, and didn't. It's natural to try to protect yourself from further hurt after experiences like the ones you have just remembered, so of course you have built up massive defenses. It doesn't mean your life has been a lie. It just means that your life is changing now and that it's going in a different direction. Who you are now is going to be different than who you were before. That is a very scary place to be - I'm kind of at the same place, but for a different reason, and it's terrifying. But you can do it. Take care of yourself, let your T help you, be gentle, and hang in there. We'll help you. Your room at Camp Comfort is ready whenever you want to visit - we've added a teleporter so you can even pop in for five or ten minutes if you just need a mental break and then feel ready to go back to the world.
