I am a disaster. I am so scared to even tell my therapist everything, I am not a danger to anyone, including myself. I am just a mess, I went to therapy for help dealing with an abortion I had to have done because of my health, now I am in a deeper depression over the things that have came out in therapy. My childhood was crap, as well as nearly everyone else, but I have kept it all inside for so long, and writing about my memories, brings back all the things I wanted to forget about, but they are all a part of me, I guess in some odd way they are what has made me who I am today, and what is that, lol, a confused adult with major issues. Where does it end?

that happens, a stressful event necessitates attention then the stuff you haven't worked through pops up.
It can truly be very hard to handle.My childhood was crap, as well as nearly everyone else, but I have kept it all inside for so long, and writing about my memories, brings back all the things I wanted to forget about, but they are all a part of me, I guess in some odd way they are what has made me who I am today, and what is that, lol, a confused adult with major issues.

I don't know. confused? me too. a mess? or maybe you're someone who's trying the best they can to deal with things that have affected you greatly? confused because the issues stay with you? and yeah, of course they've made you who you are, along with other stuff I'm sure. It's an opportunity to deal with it all anyway, so it doesn't sneak up on you.
good luck,
sid

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.
You don't need to be afraid to tell your therapist everything. They've likely heard it all. And they need to hear it all in order to be able to help us. Do you trust your therapist enough at this point to be honest? Has your therapist earned your trust?

Sometimes in therapy you feel worse at times rather than better. Re-living horrible and painful things is like them happening to you again! But this time, you are being taken care of when you "re-live" them. Still, the feelings can be the same as when the stuff first happened. At least that has been my experience. Then on top of that you are living real life and actul things in the here and now can bring how down while you are having these therapeutic experiences. So actually you may in many ways be just where you should be!
