MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

Hello, I'm Carol.

I will just tell you why I am here.

I was abused by a family member and also a family friend.

the family member and I had a very close, confusing relationship. They have passed away now and I am grieving a very complicated loss.

The family friend, I still talk to, but I am trying to stop. He still holds me to blame because I "wanted it".

that's all I will share for now.

I am already getting a lot out of reading the posts and idendetifying a lot.

Carol

Mine was physical, not sexual, but my sister shannon who died was one of my biggest abusers, so I can indentify on greiveing a complicated loss. Why do you still feel the need to talk to the family friend? Can you expand on that a little? I'm so sorry you were put through all that, but i'm glad you recognize your in the right place Smile

Carol welcome to the group, I am sorry you had to endure that. I was sexual by my bio dad until I was 14 and then thrown out of the house and I am still told that it was my fault which of course it wasnt but I guess it helps them sleep at night. I was also wondering why you need to talk to the family friend? We are here for you and if you ever want to talk im just a pm away.
My mom use to say God dont like ugly and he aint to fond of pretty. Wow that speaks loudly to me.

What we go through in life dont dictate who we are going to be or who we are only we have the control over our lives to do that. Never give up and always follow your dreams.

I am not a doctor and my advice is purely from my own experiences. I will always be here for you all if you need me just pm me anytime.
