Im not even sure what this site is for other than just having people out there who know what im going through. I have spent the last few years wondering if im going to be able to hang on. Im an adult survivor of child abuse and sexual abuse. For most of my life I have been able to maintain, but recently I feel like im comming apart. Im sure most of it is related to the fact that my life latley is so out of control. The economy is so bad right now that the stress level's have reached an all time high. I know im not the only one out here suffering, I just feel like I am.  I was diagnosed with Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome, re-occuring depression, Severe Panic and Anxiety. So with all this going on the lack of money isn't helping. I know what I need to do, and I want to be able to do it, I just cant. And I know what your thinking not with that attitude, but I used to have a great attitude, I just lost it somewhere down the road. My husband is Disabled with a bad Back and Knee, It makes it hard because we are trying to maintain a house and raise 3 kids on his disability pay and it just doesnt work.. I've tried everything. I have tried to work and tried to go to school but I just cant finish anything. I start out great and then fizzle. It gets so bad I get so over whelmed I cant continue I start getting panic attacks and then im done. If anyone can offer suggestions Im open. Anything.

until then Im still hanging in there.

Hey Tina,  All i can say is hang in there.  I,too, am an adult survivor of sexual abuse.  The memory of it can be very debilitating when one is trying to accomplish life's goals.  It has taken me 15 years to earn my B.S.  I was simply afraid to succeed.  I felt that someone would unravel my past and i would be destroyed publicly.  I am a sigle parent with a daughter.  I fight everyday to keep her safe from predators.  Being sexually abused as a child has far reaching consequences.  I suggest that you look into your life and smooth that guilt and shame you are feeling.  It was and is not your fault!!!!!!  You were very brave to post your letter, even if it is anonymous. I also am having some financial difficulties, so i know exactly how you feel.  hang in there girl.

Hello, I am a 41 year old recovering alchoholic and I suffer from PTSDS and panic attacks.  I can only tell you what I for them, and that is take one moment at a time, just get through that moment...moment by moment and minute by minute but never stop moving on keep going and go to support meetings, I go to AA meetings, you have to reach out for some help.  I am having a hard time with finances and understand how hard it is to make ends meet, sometimes just let go and let  your higher power figure it out, trust that things will be ok and I know it's hard to with so many things to worry about.  I wish the best for you and feel free to message me anytime.
