Thank you so much. I was already in therapy and when that event in January happened while my therapist was on vacation for Christmas/New Years. Since the event I ended up going to an Intensive Outpatient Program, then I continued seeing the therapist I was seeing prior and they offered twice a week, although it was online only as I was habing difficulty finding in-person within my budget and eho is trained in trauma therapy. I had too many bad experiences to take my chances so I stuck eith this therapist who does only virtual until I got a trauma therapist in-person and I also attend a day mental health program. It is different than an IOP because it doesn't have a maximum of 6 weeks, I can attend as long as I have a need, goals and feel like I'm benefiting from it. I'm trying to balance my time there with tending to other aspects of my life. I come home from there and I feel like I need to sleep so I'm trying to manage my energy.
The work with my therapist is sometimes deeper childhood work and not so much about January. I think because it feels too fresh and I can't even discuss it openly yet.[/size]

I might PM you later today since it is past midnight and I want to try to sleep. Last night i went to sleep at 3am. I am struggling with the fact that I have been in a series of traumatic events and I'm trying to somehow trace it all back and try to figure out what I did wrong.
In some ways I'm doing a little better but some days I struggle very intensely. I am also struggling with the events leading up to this event and the consequences.[/size]

The feelings of shame, sadness, and inability to accept what happened are common. I’m unsure if it will help at all, but I want to assure you that you have nothing to be ashamed of, it wasn’t your fault, and I hope everyone else in your life that you open up to about this reminds you of that as well.
Please know you can reach out to us anytime you need. We have not spoken before but I wanted to let you know that you are also more than welcome to PM me if you’d like to talk, I am all ears.

I started an iop. I am having a hard time accepting what had happened and forgiving myself.[/size]

Re: S*xual abuse
I'm so sorry to hear that you experienced abuse for two days straight. Please feel free to share as much or as little about it as you'd like. I'd love to offer whatever support I can. If it makes you more comfortable, you're also welcome to send me a PM. You're not alone in this.
