I was physically abused by my high school sweetheart in 1998. Unfortunately I think about those past instances every day. It's definately something hard to get over. Is there anyway i can move on with out going to a "shrink"?

I have had three bad marriages and the second one was really bad. He mentally abused me and physically abused me.
You may be suffering from Post Traumatic stress syndrome. I would go to see a Psychiatrist or even a therapist to help you out with this, I know that you are running around with physical pain. Get some help for yourself so that you can rest easy now. He is gone.
Good Luck

I was physically abused by three different men in three different relationships between 1978 and 1989. I was a statistic. My last abuser was my husband, and he beat me through every month of my pregnancy. He'd caused one miscarriage before my daughter. Time is the healer in my case. Time and determination not to let him continue to control me although I was no longer with him. You will have to find the inner strength to set what happened to you aside and build a life with your needs as a foundation. I also made the personal choice of not taking abuse from another man as long as I lived and I made sure to warn potential relationships of my experience, for their safety, and it was okay. I am independent and I choose to remain this way.

honestly ,,,the only way is to go to couseling. The reason I say that is because I am 41 and at 26 I was abused for 3 years and I thought I could fix it by my self, it took 15 years to realize that. Today I am still going :) :) and I am begin to feel good

Whenever you look back try to find some positive things you did.
Try to think about good times or good things in your life at that time. Don't focus on only the bad things.
Give your self a hug. You survived. So you can make it through this.

haha i love the word shrink it implies alot...i had a very abusive childhood..i worked thru my issues alone...i thought i had it all sussed out...i now study counselling and psychotherapy..i was so wrong..if u dont get help you will just suppress your feelings and memories without moving to get over them because lets be honest we will never forget but we can learn from it and grow as human beings...i also hated the thought of seeing a 'shrink' but each to their own...i dont want to try and sell it on u..u have to want to be there they do good work and only ppl who want to be there should go...i wish u the very best of luck

Tell someone who is closest to you and your heart.
Even I would say that by sharing the instance with yahoo Answers forum, you have achieved the solution to half of the problem. And We are all here for you to come over this problem.
You have opened your heart to us and touched my heart and my prayer to GOD is that "Please GOD, help her come out of all her bad experiences in life, and make her a new person" and I know if we pray with full faith, GOD is always there to answer.

Do you have someone close that you can talk too? Try taking some classes on Domestic Violence, and maybe help others who may be in a violent situation. Empower yourself, pray and forgiveness are all that I can tell you.

No, you must see a shrink. Even then I don't know if it will help unless you are really commited.
