I'm not really comfortable in posting this for the masses, so please forgive my vagueness. I've had some bad memories surfacing for a couple of months now. I'm in counciling, but I'd like to talk to someone who can empathize. Anyone who was abused as a child with repressed memories that resurfaced. You can PM me or just post a hello here.

Hello Empty Set. Perhaps you might be more comfortable discussing this in the Private Comorbid Conditions section of the forums, located at http://www.addforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=307 . You'll need to contact the moderator of that section for the password and permission to gain access to that private forum, and the posts & threads in that sub forum are not visible to the general public, nor are they indexed by search engines (i.e. safe to post in there).

I was abused by my dad around the age of 12, which led to PTSD. Not physically and not emotionally. Most of the stuff I remembered but there were some specific memories that were repressed. I went through about 6 years of therapy for the depression and PTSD, most one-on-one, but with some group therapy which was really helpful.

If you want to talk, let me know.

Doesn't look like Andi's been on in a while. Can any of the other mod's help me out?

Send another PM if you want to join a private forum, sometimes even mods forget-especially with ADD-Mods are human too! Despite certain reports to the contrary. :D If you don't get a response, try Andrew or Kimalimah, they would know how to reach Andi, if you really need to talk privately and not wait too much longer. Hang in there. You will make it!
