my dad sexually abused me for years. i can always feel him. he’s always in my head. i’m constantly on guard. i can’t sleep and i can never relax unless i drink or smoke. i can never focus. i have terrible grades and even worse anxiety. my own body makes me uncomfortable. i’m always dissociating and my memory is terrible i don’t even feel human. i don’t feel alive anymore
I felt this way for a while. I still feel some of these things.
It gets better with time and therapy. I wish you luck on your journey. I’m sorry you went through that.
