Hello,

I've joined this group to, hopefully, find some people a little further along in the healing process than I am. I'm healing from childhood sexual abuse and just started in January (therapy, that is). I feel like I'm going crazy or something, or rather, I have gone crazy.

What is normal for other people in my situation? I'd been having flashbacks every night, sometimes all night, for weeks and then it stopped for ten days. A couple of days ago I had the same thing happen, flashbacks all night, but last night and the night before were better. I don't know if I am going backwards or forwards, I don't know what to expect.

I've been feeling worthless and guilty which leads to suicidal thoughts, however, I would not commit suicide.

I feel like I'm so easily triggered right now, and I want to know that it's going to get better but I feel like things are going back to where they were a couple weeks ago.

What's normal? What should I expect? Is it possible to heal from this or will I always have the need for therapy and a handful of medications?

That's all for now.

Thanks...and nice to meet people.
