incest kills

gracioushealing's picture

I am being crippled by emotional and financial stress. I am very paranoid after years of living close to my abuser. It's an effing hell. I flinch now anytime looks at me. I am very close to ending my life. I HAVE HAD TOO MUCH. I am beyond angry. I am full of RAGE.

Still living in the rooming house from hell - yep, I used to be moonisblue, but wanted a better name, so here I am. I am Andie now. No more Ann. I hate Ann, so why not be Andie? Be who I am. All my stuff is scattered in storage and a church friend's house. I don't want my guitar in my car, which is also on its last legs. I can't keep up with the repairs. I can't keep up with the rent at the rooming house. I am about to go under. I asked my parents for help - what a laugh, they will never help me since they are the reason I have these symptoms. I can barely return to the rooming house to eat. It takes all my strength to eat peanut butter crackers in public. I feel constantly watched, evaluated, and judged. I really want to end this torment. And I need to cry and can't. If I sell the car, I need a place to put my stuff, and I don't have a place b/c the rooming house is temporary. One thing after another, all of these appointments and renewal fees coming up all at once, trying to effing drown me, days spent in loneliness. That's my life now. I go from library to library. I don't have a central place to play my guitar or write. Everything I do takes tremendous energy b/c there is no longer a life. The life I had, with an apt. and a job, is long gone after years of being back home and dealing with my perpetrator. I could kill someone, but if I do, it will be me and not someone else. I won't go to jail. I was in jail as a child. My father got away with soul murder. He really, really did.

I REFUSE to take medication as it ruins abstract thought. They blanked me out on this Zoloft crap and I couldn't write. I need to write and play that guitar even though right now I don't have it on me. If I put it in my car, I fear someone will steal it. I spend a lot of energy just trying to feel safe and protecting my stuff which is hard in a shared room with a heightened level of paranoia and loneliness. I guess God put me on this earth to be obliterated. Quite obvious to me. I hate God.

I can't afford to be alive anymore, I can't be anxious anymore, I can't be this lonely anymore, and I can't live in hell anymore. I am being literally tortured and crushed by my own thoughts, not enough help, tremendous emotional and physical stressors, and nobody who gives a damn. Except for maybe all of you.

As Sophie said, "F--- God and all his handiwork". I couldn't agree more at the moment. INCEST KILLS.

I too have survived incest at the hands of my brother.  I am in my late thirties and am finally getting to the root of all of it.  My finances are a mess and feel emotionally stressed.  I just want you to know we are here for you and first and foremost if you intend to do any harm to yourself call 911 or go directly to your local hospital.  All the rest of it can be dealt with later--please reply and let us know you are ok.

hi Buddhagirl

thanks for your comments. i am sorry, of course, about what you

endured. i honestly want to fry all of these men alive in boiling oil.

you never deserved that evil. neither did i.

i am still very down and depressed. i went to the mall the other day

and just sat there for awhile. i am overloaded. there are things i need

to do i haven't done yet b/c i'm stressed to the point where it's all

overwhelming. i need more angels to help. i read about civil war

soldiers who walked until they died. some days i feel the same.

my car is grounded and so i am walking everywhere or taking the

bus. and it's tiring. i have no place to truly rest.

i do not have a plan but have always been suicidal. why should it change, you know?

my father was truly evil. but they get away with it. right now i'm hanging on. please

find peace today.

take good care of yourself.

I just read your comments and I want you to know that I care.  There are so many women on here who are having symptoms like you describe (myself included) and sometimes, it seems as if it is the same person speaking with each comment. I know we are all unique and not the same person, but the way we struggle is very similar.  The anxiety, nightmares, sleep difficulties, relationship problems (and not just romantic relationships), depression, feelings of worthlessness ... as you know, this list goes on ..

But, still, I would rather live in the truth.  No more pretending. My family of origin is still living in denial.  When I spoke the truth they all accused me of being "crazy" and of course my step-father denied, denied and said I was a liar.  That was many years ago.  Somehow, I stood strong in the truth ... and you know what?  It does set me free.  I believe today that it wouldn't matter where I lived or who I was with ... if I didn't deal with the sexual, physical & emotional abuse.  Whereever I went ... there I was.  I couldn't outrun my past ... and I tried.  I always thought "it will be better when I move to another apartment, another city, another country.  No, it wasn't.  Or, a better job, a better partner ... more money... on and on, and I finally realized that, when I slowed down and looked within, and faced what I was running from ... then, I started to get some relief.  Standing in the truth is not always the popular thing ... especially with family.  |I basically had to divorce my  family as they did not support me ... it was the opposite ... they stood with my abuser .. my mother and my  own brothers and sisters would not support me.  But, to this day ... I am glad I let them know what he did because if I saved even ONE of the grandchildren from my fate ... it was worth it.

So, stay in your truth ... deep in your soul, you know what was done to you and you can heal.  We are all born PURE and deserve the good things in life.  You deserve good things in life.  You will get them.  Please, know that you are deserving ... just because you are you.

This evening you and my other sister saved me. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes feeling whacked out from all the anxiety and stress. I am so hard on myself. If I screw anything up, I berate myself. And I always screw something up really bad.

But your comment made me feel so much better. Thank you.

The anxiety of PTSD is so hard b/c it makes me do crazy crap. And then I blame me. It's a snowball effect of trying to control everything. And that makes me screw things up, naturally.

We're only human. So why should we have to be superhuman.
