17 years .....TW!!!

[cpjoli]

17 years ago to the day I was attacked, the r word, I can't write it right now.
It lives with me everyday regardless of therapy or counselling. My DH knows and is understanding to a point. So much else going on in my life at the moment too. I'm really struggling with the past and the present. Not sure if I can continue like this much more. I'm just so tired and drained.

I was also attacked in that way in 2004. I'm so sorry for what you've been through. I don't know exactly what it's like for you. But knowing how it was for me means I know you've been through such terrible trauma.

I found that it was always harder to cope with when other things were going wrong in life. Eventually I've found peace with it and although PTSD still strikes sometimes, it's substantially better.

I wish you that same peace. And for today, I hope that knowing it can get better, even after many years, might give just a sliver of hope.
