How can someone overcome sex trafficking levels of trauma?I never got removed from my abusive situation growing up so I unfortunately didn't get to develop even semi properly.Everyone that talks to me knows somethings off.People just think I'm awkward or high functioning but the truth is that I was exposed to crazy things as a baby and toddler.I'm talking physical, sexual and emotional abuse. I was straight up tortured psychologically my entire childhood.I have such bad memory issues and I'm worried I have something more serious wrong with me than PTSD.I don't know where or how to get treatment, traumatized adults are scary compared to traumatized kids (fair).I've done so much therapy but I need something else I think.I'm not sure what programs would help.What steps should I take to help heal mentally?Also this is a bit /x/ but are energy vampires real? They seem real.
>>34641831Taking my mental health into my own hands by studying regularly and meditating daily is what helped me. It led me to the realization that a person is the product of their current thoughts and beliefs and not the product of their past, meaning that I wasn't permanently broken and that I have the ability to heal myself with enough patience and introspection. It also showed me the importance of living for the sake of growth rather than for the sake of comfort, which framed what I used to see as a painful and unfair past as a valuable and much appreciated lesson. I'm still working at it and have a lot of room to grow left, but I'm a lot better off than I was before.
