I think like you said you want to control your life, but the steps you are taking are not good for you, I think its time for you to see and speak to someone about what you are doing to yourself. When something bad happens to you try to make it worse to make you feel better I believe you explained very well of what your a feeling and doing to yourself.. please speak to someone you feel safe with and trust..please!!!!!

I would think its normal to occasionally have flashbacks and feel shaken over it.  If you are feeling like that ALL the time you might want to get some professional help. It was a pretty traumatic event for the nation, let alone Yew Yorkers. If you dont get professional help make sure you talk to friends or family.  Im sure that will help.

Its sounds like we have very similar lives.  I know how it feels to be under so much pressure with no where to turn.  When my life gets crazy like that ( I'm a single mom) I have found that taking some time for myself can work wonders.  It was hard for me to face the fact that I cant count on anyone but myself, but I try not to let myself get overwhelmed.  although i am not a religious person, my grandma always told me that god would never give me a cross too heavy to bear.  And I have faith in that and myself.  Hope things get better for you.  Good luck.

call the social helpline or see a counsellor.\nyou are still young. its gonna be a long way down the road of life and no harm asking for professional help when you have fallen and dont know how to get up.

You should find some adult who is unconnected to your family, School counselor, head teacher, ....\n\nTell them exactly what is going on and ask them to help refer you to the proper agency in your area who can deal with this.\n\nTake action now, or you face being traumatised to the point of lifelong discontentment.  Take action now and take pride in the fact that you had the courage to stand up for your rights.  Take action now and recognise the depth of emotional resilience and strength you have.\n\nDo you see where I'm going with this?\n\nTAKE ACTION NOW - TALK TO SOMEONE

maybe you have some stress in your life that is causing you to unconsciously feel like you need to fall back on your old crutch.  Good luck.

Probably the same reason I do.  I have a hard time being out going.  But you can work on it.  Just asert yourself, people WANT to be around you trust me I know.

Try rest, and elevate the foot with ice and maybe look into going  to see a therapist to help you through this.

basically find a local family therapist to help guide you in this very tough time... you need to discuss this matter at length with someone who is capable of guiding you thru this...

Your isolating yourself aren't you? Yes your pain is real,we all suffer in life ,but these are lessons, to learn how to live for the better. Have you received counseling for the abuse? And living in 8 foster homes was no picnic either , I know i have two brothers i took in and although I'm not related they are my kids. They have suffered greatly also, but slowly but surely they are moving on in life. Now another thing you probably have is the feeling that theres really no one out there for you. That's just not true, hun I wouldn't be here typing this letter to you if I didn't care. Neither would any of these other people. If you would like to talk some more just ask I will talk , I will listen, and I will feel what ever your experiencing and I will give it my best shot to walk through the misery you are experiencing at any given moment. I'm a mom, and yes of 8 of my own biological children, but my heart has room for more, so you decide if u want to contact me, just dont feel alone reach out to some one ,ok you are cared about know that, its a start to healing and gaining some kind of self esteem.

what bothers me is being and feeling trapped by my past and my old ways of thinking. i cant seem to get it all toghether. i know that i will because God has me in his hands. he is the reason everything else is ok its just that in the meantime it is stressfull fighting this same old battle.

Things happen for a reason. You will learn the reason in a later time. Don't worry I have been through the same thing it hurts and it take awhile. Just keep yourself busy and always leave a crack in the door.
