Will I ever be happy in my own skin again?

Question

I don't think I will.

Answer 1

For myself, I've got a more or less similar problem...and if you'd like a person to talk with, I'd be ready. E-mail me if u want:

[e-mail] (i just needed an email for yahoo answers and all others ones were taken..)

Answer 2

Elesha, you keep asking these questions, and I keep giving you suggestions, and say to never give up, and you send me a not back that you can't get over it. Nearly three decades have passed since I was molested, and it still hurts, and I'm still mad -- you are not alone. I try to reply to your messages, but you still haven't validated your email, so it doesn't go through. Then the next day, here you are with the same questions...

What happened to you was terrible and wrong. It was not your fault, and you will never be able to travel back in time and change things. However, you can redevelop your sense of confidence and security - BUT IT TAKES TIME AND EFFORT. There is no magic pill or wand to make the pain go away; but the sooner you seek out help, the sooner you will start to feel better.

Time is the only way through this, and you will get beyond it more effectively if you seek counseling and solace from others who have been through it and understand. Instead of spending your time here asking strangers for answers, go to the sources that already have them for you: call the hotline + go through those web links I gave you.

WE can't make you better -- and trust me, I would if I could. Only you can do that, so you have to take one step at a time as you work toward building a better future for yourself. As the ads say: Just Do It. 1-800-656-HOPE

I know it seems intimidating to talk to someone, but by just picking up the phone and making that first phone call, you will feel relief come over you. The RAINN center has had over 1,000,000 calls -- you really aren't alone! They have helped so many girls and women with the feelings you are feeling right now. You will not regret making that call.

It's tough to say. I'm kind of torn between yes and no, myself. You could try though. Give out some details and maybe someone can help. Or talk to someone else. a psychologist/therapist person. See what they have to say.
