Peoples' faces

I'm facing many different issues and feelings!

What are triggers and how can I stop them? I hate myself. I get so low... They told me I was worthless... They said I was only useful for sex...I want to end it all... How can I stop myself from hurting myself? Am I going mad? Why am I always so angry? How can I control my anger? Are flashbacks normal? How can I stop them? How do I get back at them for what they did? Is it wrong to want to kill them? I wish that horrible things happen to my abuser(s) - does this make me a bad person? All I seem to think about is the abuse...will I ever be normal again? Am I the way I am because of the abuse? How can I ever have an intimate relationship with this hanging over me? I feel so much shame about what happened…

If these are questions you are asking you may find our following resource(s) helpful.
