It seems like there’s a piece of the puzzle I’m missing here. Throughout my life I’ve had several symptoms that all point to some sort of abuse. Though I can’t remember being sexually abused at all. Depression, anxiety, depersonalizatin disorder, bulimia, cutting, drug and alcohol abuse, promisciuty and asexuality. Are these not all results of some kind of child abuse?
as for how can one be promiscuous (sorry for spelling) and asexual… sure, you can sleep around with plenty of people and never really feel any kind of sexual feelings for anyone. Sorry for being unclear.

I don’t feel hopeless, or want to die. I haven’t had a lack of interest in things I love. Everyday I find things to be thankful for. I do LOVE my life, I’m going to school finally which I have been wanting to do, My kids are healthy and happy, and for the most part my husband and I have been doing REALLY well this year, its been a very happy year for our relationship, with that being said here is a little history:

Self-medicating with pharmaceuticals (opiates and stimulants) and marijuana and alcohol and other drugs (junkhead) for almost 10 years. Sober now for a little over 1
3 years ago very close friend (like a brother to my family) died @ age 23
Last summer even closer friend (like a brother to us and uncle to our kids) got hit by lightning along with another friend and both passed away
In the last 3 years my grandfather and my husbands grandmother passed
I know this sounds silly, but my cat whom I loved dearly and was a part of the family just went missing 3 months ago, and I haven’t cried or grieved but it still hurts…
My best friend had a miscarriage that really hit me hard and I was very emotional about(last summer)

I’m currently working on a very involved report that covers the last 30 years of women’s health – specifically those who have had abortions and whether or not they have, since or before then experienced any form of mental illness like depression, bi-polar, paranoia, schitzophrenia, feelings of worthlessness, substance or alcohol abuse, promiscuity, inability to bond with intimate relationship partner or other children. If you have any of these symptoms and have had an abortion, even if you don’t feel the two are related, I would appreciate your help. answers remain anonymous. if you would prefer to send to my email that’s fine. katy_bug7@yahoo.com. This is an important issue for anyone who has experienced abortion since 1973. If, on the other hand, you have had an abortion and experience no mental or emotional illness, I’d like to hear that too. this has nothing to do with a religious study. thank you so much for your interest.
please don’t worry about trusting me. you can send a confidential email and not sign it if you like. I can tell you that I’ve had the experience myself and I’m trying to find out if i’m the only one. most women don’t want to talk about our abortions, but i think it’s something we need to do – clinics don’t give us all the information we should have. please send anonymous letter to 612 s main st, centerville, iowa 52544 send to katybug and don’t use a return address. thank you. also i will be happy to share any results (statistics ) i find. thanks

Okay. Here’s my dilemma.

When I was 12, ten years ago, I was diagnosed with depression. At the time, I didn’t think I was depressed, but apparently my thoughts and actions lead other people to believe otherwise. I got on medication, but I never took it.

For a brief time, my symptoms of depression seemed to disappear. I thought I was cured. But recently, they’ve come back. (within two years or so)
