are a professional? A couple years back when I was younger I had a step brother who molested me, and tried to rape me. Before this he stole my underwear, skirts, shorts, and bras. My other step brother told his mom about him stealing stuff, but she wouldnt believe either of us. When things got worse and he molested me, I didnt even want to tell my parents since I knew they wouldnt even believe it, plus I didnt want to ruin their relationship. So for over a year I put up with this, and everytime it happened I was in shock and didnt know what to do. One night he came into my room and I punched him really hard, he left my room but never stopped. It's been probably over four years now.. and I thought I was over this since I moved out and got my own life, but the thing is I have been thinking about it again. I cant afford to go to counseling. My dad does know about what happened and so does my ex step brothers mom, they are now divorced and do know what has happened but have never commented on it to me. I sometimes feel scared sleeping at night, and I get stressed out about other things in life such as financial issues.. and in this time I have developed borderling hypothyroidrism, so
I have also been dealing with anxiety. Does any professional, or someone who has been through this have advice for me on how to overcome this other then going to therapy? All answers will be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have cut myself in the past.. not too deep though. It helped me overcome some of the pain.. but I have stopped myself from doing this now
