Can I get my spirit back?

I would like to open the table for discussion.  My sexual abuse began at age 6 months.  Did not end until I left home at age 17.  Can I get my spirit back?  Up until now it has been about surviving.  Now I'm interested in thriving.  I am a spirit and love filled person.  I give and receive love readily.  But when one is so horribly wounded, it feels like it kills the spirit.  I try to sit by the ocean and let the waves cleanse my soul.  The seagulls sing to me.  Will I ever have the spirit that I was born with?  Being devastated and left for dead was hard on my spirit.  And living in an unsafe environment for so many years.  Comments?
