I remember being a very sensitive and sad child. I was a loner. I was sexually abused, but had no clear memories of it until I was around 25 y/o. I had nightmares and partial flashbacks in teen years, but didn't attribute it to anything.
Now, I am in my 30's and have fallen into the worst depression of my life. I startle with everything. I have chronic pain as well. I think this is what tipped my cup to fall over.
I do have negative thinking. I think sometimes I can't take living in constant state of hypervigiliance. It is a painful existence. Some how, I hold on to hope.
I am on many meds and I know I am some bit better with them. However, I am still not mentally right. It feels like I had some type of mental breakdown. With my history in mind, this was going to happen. It seems like I can't handle very much anymore.
