Hi folks, I need advice please.
To cut a very long story short, I'm far too oversensitive. If I hear on the news that someone has been raped, I can't forget about it or stop dwelling on it - it literally hurts me. I still remember horrific cases that I saw on the news 15 years ago, and whenever I hear of another case it all just stores up in my head.
When I was about 13, for no apparent reason I developed this horrible fear that it would happen to me. This will sound seriously weird, but for years I knew it was going to happen to my little sister at some point, and it did.
I'm sure that all this is connected to some horrible things my father did to me when I was a kid. (I only started remembering this a few years back, after he died, and I still haven't got all the memories out. When I realised, my fear started to make sense.)
I tried suicide when I was about 16, and would never try that again, but I don't know how to cope with the sh*t that goes on in this world.
