Hi, I wonder if I need therapy? I'm so used to working with war-traumatised people that my own sufferings seem minute comparatively speaking. But I don't feel too good, am on prozac. As a child I was severely neglected by single parent, left in an orphanage (brutal, they beat us hard) at the age of four, back to mom by age 4,5 yrs, sexually abused by adult before age 5, sent abroad alone at age 9 (I didn't understand a word of the language), had to stay w strange family, was later bullied in highschool, betrayed by bf when I was pregnant (caught him in bed w other woman), ostracised by co-workers when I couldn't understand what was so awful about incident at work and everyone else was hysterical. It goes on, and on, both brothers dead (drugs and abuse). I guess I'm pretty strong to have survived, but don't know if I qualify for therapy. What do you think?
