Hey Bella.

To bounce off a bit of what Melissa said, I'm sorry that this happened to you at such a young age. It's something that no one should be exposed to especially at such a young age.

Also, to use some of what she said, you never have to label what it is you've been through, just focus on the emotions that are affecting you right now. There are a lot of ways to get through the flashbacks, and through the pain that these may cause. There is a technique that you can use whenever you start feeling bad about anything, it's called grounding. It's a good thing to use when you start to have flashbacks. You just basically name off five things you can see, hear, smell, and touch, four things, three things, etc. all the way down to one.

Lastly, I will like to tell you, and this is the most important thing to remember: you should look into to getting someone to talk to, vent, get your feelings out. Get some coping skills, etc. It does no one good to keep it inside of you, and quite honestly, I think you really, really should look into that.

I wish you the best of luck, Bella, and should you need anything at all, feel free to PM/VM me.

-Casper.
