I went to a website earlier that had to do with religion, and was upset by something I read there. I may be over-reacting, but it is bothering me so much that I am getting sick. It seemed like an alright site about different religious views. However, it had a portion that started talking about sexual abuse, ritual abuse, and so on. All it talked about was something called false memories and that most sexual abuse cases are false memories. It listed studies that comfirmed these findings and stated that most professionals are becoming wise. I am really not trying to upset anyone here, but it left me having some intense feelings that I need to let out!
I have just begun to come here and let out my memories about the abuse I suffered. I feel so fragile and am trying so hard to hold everything together! I have started having new images and some new memories. I have always worried about what people will think of me if they knew the truth. Now I'm so scared that people won't even believe me if I do start talking about it!!! I have always been ok reading articles and books about sexual abuse, but this site really did something to me. I feel physically sick and can't stop shaking. I have the strongest urge to cry, which I don't feel comfortable letting out yet! Please tell me I'm safe here!!!!!!!! Danette
