I usually go for counseling every week, but this past week it was cancelled. I've been having more meltdowns, and I feel completely empty. I've been dealing with meltdowns for so long, and I am so TIRED of them. How long does it take to get better? I was raised in an abusive home for many years until I escaped a few years ago. I hate hurting so much, I hate feeling like my guts are twisted up into a knot, I hate not being able to live life like a normal person.

Hi Bearhugs, I am sorry you are struggling so much right now. This bit of the forum doesn't get much traffic because it is a links directory. I would recommend reposting in "coffee talk" or "questions about being in therapy" where I am sure lots of people will be able to empathise with how hard it is.

Welcome to the forum. Hug two
BH, Hi...Just happened to see this post. There is no such thing as "normal". Try to believe that. Try to stay in the present also. Working through family garbage takes a very long time. I have the scars to prove it. But it sounds like you are heading in the right direction. Speaking about your pain is where a lot of the healing takes place. But try to accept that is a long, slow process. You'll see...in time you will begin to feel better, I promise!
