I've wanted to busk (play guitar on the street) my entire life but every time I would mention it as a child I would always be told You'll never be good enough, you can't even sing, you can't busk without singing, who would want to listen to you play anyway, you're annoying, etc etc etc. The more I get stuck with the idea of doing it the more I realise just how much work I put in because all I wanted to do was play music for strangers. But this constant berating has built a fear into me I am really struggling to undo enough to even take the guitar out of its bag on the street. I have conquered and overcome every other fear I have had so far, but this one seems to be the one the hardest to deal with by far, even if it isn't really that scary. I'm just internally terrified of being insulted again like my family did, even though I accept the fact now that my family weren't nice people, and the majority of people are nothing like them.

Me and my mom struggled with verbal and physical abuse from my biological father. From yelling at me and my mom to pushing us and hitting us he has cheated on my mom with several women, and now I have a half bother from I dont even know it took several months and years to get my mom to talk about it. Now a couple of months later she is divorced and ready to start a new chapter to our live. Its like messing up on a drawing rip off the page to try over again. To the people that suffered the way me and my mom did I just want to say sorry for the trauma you have came to. And thank you for taking the time to read my story

I was jokingly hit on the head by my sister today but my body went into fight or flight mode, my heart rate shot up & i lashed out on her. I realised my brain still associates being hit on the head with the episodes from my childhood when i was hit on the head by my father all the time for not securing the highest marks in my class. I was a good student but never good enough for him. I love him but i'm sad that the things he did back then are affecting me today.

I feel like just me speaking pisses people off so Im better off being mute since no matter what I will end up alone because all it takes is one wrong misinterpreted word
Then again the other side is you think what you want I know the meaning behind my words and if they wanna take what I say beyond face value thats their problem
Both ends up with me feeling restricted and isolated

ive never talked about my trauma to anyone before, Its been 17 years and I feel it consuming my mental health.
Never experiencing love as a child and only receiving continuous physical, emotional and verbal abuse to the point where its the norm feels like Im missing out on a global level.

I was forced to get over it because it was all my fault I felt that way. I want to stop talking to the majority of my family members. Theyre good people but terrible to me. My self worth is complete shit and Im struggling everyday to stop finding validation and stop hating myself.

It sucks to know that my trauma is building up and I can't stop it or start healing because I can't get therapy for it cause I can't talk about it and I can't report it because I'm scared of the foster system and of the legal system failing me and putting me back with my parents

My parents always fight, and they did not have time for me. Life was so stressful, and I was so depressed.
As a 30 years old single woman, I don't want to get married. I am so scared of relationships. I am so afraid that my life will end up like my parents.

I spent over 20 years in therapy (I'm 42) and with antidepresants and nothing works, I'm sad and full of hate and anger. My wounds didn't heal and it seems they never will, all the mental health professionals who treated me were useless I give up.

Is anyone else having trouble with closed captions? It keeps giving me Korean and won't let me switch back to English. SO infuriating! (And I need to use closed captions so my mom doesn't know I'm watching these! ;A; )

As a formerly abused child, I understand that your scars heal but your reflexes from dealing with the abuse never goes away. You will always be high alert, and you flinch when someone goes to even give you a high five.

The only good listener to me is my 6 year old middle child sibling, even though she doesn't know what I'm talking about, she still listens.
(I'm stuck at home so I have no one to talk to, and I'm the oldest child)

Lost my memory from being raped in elementary school & growing up in such a broken home. It took me 3-4 years of self journaling to find my truth. I believe in exercise & being in nature everyday helps a ton for me.
