How can I stop feeling haunted by an abusive childhood?
0
Well, let’s face it…. Everyday I feel haunted from being abused so much during my childhood. Doesnt matter if it was physical, emotional or sexual, everything just gets played over and over again in my mind.
The only trigger I can think of is when its night time. Im terrified of the dark only because a lot of horriffic events took place then. I usually have nightmares about those events.
It sounds like you have trauma (obviously) and small case of PTSD. Try t notice if there is a trigger that activates these flashbacks. If there is, then try to stay away from these triggers. Whatever the case, i would say don't forget them, or at least, learn from it. Your past doesn't make you who you are, it's what you do with it that makes you the kind of person you are.
