Sexual abuse trigger warning and I am told its heavy :)


I have had a rough last 7 years with off and on opiate addiction shifting from smack to subs and back until I got really strung out 6 months ago and jumped on methadone. Great decision I have had maybe as many as 5 one time uses after I got over 70mg. I am now at a stable dose of 130mg and very happy with it. Zero cravings no constipation to speak of gained 30 pounds feel good. My other drug use involves mostly weed and occasional Xanax.

Ok so 4 weeks ago I made the fateful decision to address my long standing childhood sexual trauma. I picked a therapist and she employed a psychologist normal set up in my area. So I opened pandoras box four Fridays ago. I went at it hard too I was totally honest and really talked about the real shit. I wanted to figure out why 6 through 11 year old Drew didn't tell his parents or teacher or anyone! So I tried to figure it out and I think I came up with several distinct answers by time period. 6-7 didn't know wtf was going on and just wanted to play Nintendo while being fondled through his clothes. 8-9 year old Drew was confused but knew it wasn't right but decided it felt kind of good and I Kyle was my friend. 10-11 Drew knew this was fucked up and didn't like a bit but was terrified of getting in trouble for not telling earlier but also kind of liked it too. So that took like a session give or take to talk through to my satisfaction that it was dead enough to work through on my time.



Session 2-3 was about identifying the adults who should have protected Drew from this asshole or seen that something was amiss in Drew. This was complicated as I only have my recollection and the therapist talked through the job and maybe reality of various people except my parents who I know. I think the blame lies with my parents frankly. I was a latchkey kid from 1st grade on. We lived on a cold-sac small town knew all the neighbors should have been a bomb early childhood. I don't really remember my age in relation to this one. My mom and father started fighting around when I was 7 or 8 according to each of them. Father stayed out and was possibly sleeping around Mom worked a lot for low pay. See this is where speculation came in and she stopped me and said it doesn't matter why to 8 year old drew. "Too true" So they are fighting on the broke down car in the driveway I can hear them in my room and it upsets me. Happened a lot I think. So at school I begin to not have friends.

Then by 4th grade I was bullied "Booger Picker''. My fourth grade teacher tried to figure it out but I wasn't a behavior problem I was just sad or quiet whatever it was called. So at some point between 2nd and 3rd grade the abuse is intensified everyday after school he is there. Pants came off he sucked my dick then would rub his cock on my butt until he jazzed. I have random memories of playing video games to see how many dukes or suck sucks he would get then he would make me pick between the 2. So this went on for 3 uninterrupted years pretty much. So yeah where the fuck where the adults? I still don't really understand it but I do feel we had created the timeline now. The progression was like 6-pants on 7-pants on butt humping pants come off at some point.
8-11 full on molestation and I began puberty at 8-9. My first time to masterbate was me laying on him while he jacked my tiny penis off as absolutely went ape shit with pleasure. So from that point on was when the real bad damage was inflicted.

So for the 3-4 session we focused on ages 8-11. I began to suffer performance failures in school. I began eating dinner by myself in my room with the tv. I began having deviant dreams of being a criminal. So by 5th grade things where at a boiling point at home. Father moved out to 45 min away and mom worked more to support us. So Little me spent more time with Kyle the molester. And well the scenarios started to develop, being tied to the bedpost once, in one memory I am getting fucked from behind while he looks at porn over my shoulder. So my 5th grade teacher was a veteran she knew I was being abused or at least suspected it but either didn't know the where when how or didn't really care to find out. Mom and Father blamed there relationship problems on my deteriorating grades and finally poor behavior at school. See there was no problem as far as the school was concerned until I was causing trouble. So I got a parent teacher intervention. Well whats wrong with you Drew? "Do I tell them? No they will be infuriated I didn't tell them sooner and by this time the concept of sexuality has developed in my mind and just like that the biggest secret of my life was formed. So at school the bullying was blamed and everyone seemed sure that was the problem. But why was a fit athletic kid bullied anyway? No one asked. So at the absolute latest by my 11th birthday I was fully victimized. Picked on at school, fucked by a dude after school, then ate dinner by myself and did it over again for at least a school year. I have come to understand that 4th and 5th grade was hell on fucking earth for me. I can remember this bully picking on me and I wanted to knock his teeth out so bad this burning fucking anger that I learned to release in time. I just wasn't angry enough yet to blow. But I got there later

Aftermath

That's where we stopped in therapy last Friday. I was done emotionally. Between therapy sessions 1 and two I had minor problems a sleep disturbance, bad mood, drug cravings. But it seemed manageable so no action was taken. But by the time I got to my car after the second session I was in real emotional pain. I was called in gabapentin and prescription bendryl but I began eating Xanax as well like 3mg over 5 days I would say mostly at night. At the third appointment she gave me the option to continue or talk about dealing with current emotions. I said the way through is out lets continue. Bad call on my part but I got through the session and I was ok that weekend. Was fucked up bad by Monday though and wanted a dose increase at the clinic denied due to failed drug screens for pot and benzos. Fucking A I was beyond pissed yelling match ensued between me and counselor after I told the doc to go fuck a cow. So I acquired money about 3 bags of dope no effect due to methadone blockade effect. Wednesday morning I talk to clinic he calls therapist she talks to the doctor and I am eventually called in Zoloft and more gabapentin and a drug to suppress dreams I threw out yesterday. So I wasn't happy with the "emergency" call in for a dude with 3 prior documented suicide attempts and a gaping wound in his psyche but really it was par for the course.

So at this point we are 3 hour long sessions into what I was advised would be a 5 session and go from there strategy. I was in deep at the clinic for 2 positive benzo fails in a row and given a 120 day evaluation period for treatment suitability. The first step to getting axed. So I stopped taking Xanax kept smoking herb taking gabapentin like they are going out of style. I was scared of Zoloft as for some reason SSRis scare me maybe intuition. So I went to the 4th appointment with intention of working on coping skills that consisted of yoga shit and the magical breathing exercises fuck me standing bro. So after 15 minutes I just started talking and I talked until she threw me out of her office pretty much. that was roughly 9 days ago. I really felt numb. But over this last week I have deteriorated again mutilated my arm began having negative outcome oriented thoughts. Bad Shit. So I started the Zoloft because I was desperate. I don't know when I became manic but it was slow then bam. And I have been that way until I began having serotonin syndrome last night and went to ER this morning.

So yeah if you read all that thank you. I guess I just want to commiserate for a bit then figure out wtf to do next. edit:Also don't be afraid to comment if I didn't want to talk about it I wouldn't have posted it. I tried to go back and edit it to read better but its still choppy.

It's pretty excruciating to read. The confusion and abandonment you felt as a child is palpable. Do you parents know at this point?

You are doing the right thing, cj. Understand that it is going to be terrifying simply because it was trauma, real trauma and as such you have been working your whole life to bury it and make it go away. Except that it won't. Which only increases the terror. But I hope that you can have faith that by going through it, as you said, there will be another side, a release from this. I truly believe there will be.

It made sense that you went to a drug that could help you keep this all as far away as possible. It makes sense now that you would yearn for that same numbing "friend". But you know in your heart that it not only didn't work, it made things worse. Get some reading material on childhood sexual abuse--as much as you can find. Bolster your work (it is work you are doing--very heroic work) with as much support as you can. I so wish that TheArtofWar was still alive today to talk to you about this. He went through a similar struggle and he had so many insights into the negative self-harming thoughts that childhood sexual abuse creates. Read Gabor Maté's book The Hungry Ghost if you have not already. It connects childhood trauma and addiction in a very deep and comprehensive way but it also addresses healing.

I know that this is a very pivotal time in your life and you need to keep this in mind at all times. The decisions you make in this raw and vulnerable state are very important to your survival. Do not listen to addiction's seductive claims. You know that I am here for you all the way. I have near-infinite space in my PM box!;)

Forgiveness is a huge part of healing. Forgiving yourself as the innocent child that you were. Forgiving your parents for their shortcomings, knowing that they are human. Forgiving even Kyle who was no doubt a screwed up kid himself. Forgiving the culture that so represses and degrades sexuality that children cannot feel safe to speak of their own experiences at any point in their lives. You have already started down this path of forgiveness and it will take courage to continue. Anger is healthy and welcome. Forgiveness does not mean excusing and it does not mean never feeling rage or any other uncomfortable emotion. It simply means that you refuse to carry the burden of shame and mistrust and self-hatred that the abuse has held you trapped in any longer.<3
 
:( I'm sorry, CJ...really, really sorry. Thank you for sharing your story. Purging those feelings you've held back for a lifetime is indeed therapeutic. Did you get to the ER for dehydration? These thoughts manifest themselves physically. You need some serious professionals in the medical field to help.

We're here. We care.

I will PM my email addy to you because I don't know how to "file" my inbox messages that I don't wish to delete.
 
CJ, im sorry that your going through this. I too suffered from being molested. It was by a relative and i still have to see the schmuck. I can relate to the school thing, they caught me touching myself in 2nd grade. They pulled me into a room, and asked me if i was being touched inappropriately. I lied, i told them no. And they let it go, not even a phone call to my parents. Well, years pass, and i finally decided to tell my mom. She did nothing about it. Absolutely nothing. Now, there was never any penetration with me, so that's why she didn't care.

I recently went to counseling, and it took a good 5 sessions just to get me to talk about it. I was going for panic attacks only, and i had only brought it up. I didn't really want to talk about it. Well, then the nightmares came. it is hard for me to have sex, its painful and takes me forever to get in the mood. I stopped seeing my counselor, i don't have the money right now . I can understand the "it felt kinda good" when it was happening, and i still feel extremely guilty over it.

I was also bullied in school, because i was shy and kept to myself.

Someday i will go back and get the counseling i fully need.

Also, i am addicted to opiates. I suffer from GAD, ADHD, and panic disorder. A month ago i did some research on molestation and found that most children who are molested are either promiscuous, or dont enjoy sex later on in life. And commonly suffer from anxiety. Sometimes i want to hurt the schmuck who did this to me, make him suffer, but i understand that is really wrong to do.



Do you go back to counseling? And also, i can't believe she pushed you out of her office, seriously..how f*cking rude. Sometimes they work like a factory, taking people in, and once your 30 mins is up they push you right out! It makes me feel like a paycheck.

I made an embarrassing error throught this whole post referring to crunchyplanets as a male when she is quite clearly female. I have no good excuse I just fucked up. I am really sorry crunchy.
At least 95 percent of that applies directly to me. I was reading it saying yep, fucking hell, Shit, Yep, and me too in no particular order. My douchbag was a neighbors teenage son. I would not be able to handle your situation of having to see him. I honestly have no fucking idea how you make that work. Man anecdotally parents often react less then perfectly to the male on male child sexual abuse. If those same kind of parents daughter gets drunk and chooses to have sex the parents call it rape and want the kids balls on a tray. Not even talking about consent just reaction of the family. I will refrain from dogging on your parents but that is beyond fucked up.

Luckily I was also not penetrated anally. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, ADHD, GAD, Depression and a drug addicted substance misusing "high risk client''. I hsve had a lot of counseling for a variety of issues. I have only worked with 2 counselors I really felt like earned there money and my ______ its not really trust or respect. Its more like we just clicked for whatever reason and magic kind of happened. But oh man when it doesn't click it can be rough especially if you have no choice but to continue. Happened to me as a minor once with a women addictions counselor who thought she was going to set me strait. It took me going away to college and getting to see a wonderful older male sociology professor PHD counselor who was a Baptist preacher in his 20s and 30s before renouncing faith and getting his degrees and certifications to both teach university and counsel students. Great guy highly intelligent but not even a little bit on the dry side he was the only professional who would strait up give me advice on how to proceed instead of that sounding board shit they all do now. "Well Drew what I am hearing you say is _____ your words repeated back more or less for the entire session". The lady I see now does that a lot so I just stopped waiting for her to answer unless I want her too.

I honestly kinda hate the term molestation. We got fucking raped. Molestation sounds so technical as a society it should either be referred to as either rape or child abuse. Both work or maybe even better child rape? Sorry I just thought of that today rereading some stuff I wrote and was like why am I using this word that purposely obscures the horror of the act? I know it was horrible so its not for my benefit.

I am still planning to see her a couple more times. Mostly for my parents sake as it makes them feel its being dealt with. Yeah man that's a little embellishment on my part she has these little business cards she gives clients with date and time of next appointment. When she starts writing session is over quickly. But shit she is running a business for profit. I would rather talk to my a close friend about this stuff but I couldn't do that to them. Its just so heavy if you really care about the person.

Well, actually i am a girl, and it was my brother. Now he has schizophrenia and he actually yells "rape children". Believe it or fucking not. Pisses me off. And one day he was down my house with my mom. And he was saying it under his breath (his meds needed to be upped at this point) and i kicked them the fuck out, just started screaming, "get out. GET THE FUCK OUT". and my mom got mad at me. I was putting stress on my brother.

I can understand wanting to talk to a close friend. I've told my husband. And i CAN talk to him, But yeah, i just choose not to. I don't tell him about the nightmares or anything.

I agree with calling it child rape, cause your right, it was.
It's good that your going to continue the sessions. But is there any way you can see the counselor that you knew in college? Or is that completely out of the question. It's hard to come by a real good one that you like and doesn't make you feel like a number.
 
I'm at once struck by the horror of this information and quite pleased that you're ready to talk about it. I wasn't molested as a child, so I don't know what it's like, but I can only imagine that it must be terribly hard to get out and process. My only advice would be to take the pills they give you at the amount they give you. Drugs can be used to numb the pain temporarily, but if used this way they're very unhealthy for the mind. The feedback derived from using them this way makes one, on a very deep level, think that the answer is in a pill, which turns into a vicious cycle. It took effort, and I'm not free of drug cravings, but I was able to swear off psychoactive substances (mainly because I don't want to end up in the hospital). I'm not saying it's easy, or that I had/have it harder than you, just that it will more likely lead you to where you want to be.
 
^Very good advice^ and so hard to follow. Look at it this way: you found a way to get from a devastated little boy to a teenager and into early adulthood successfully keeping this buried so that you could function. One of the many tools you used--quite rationally at the time--was drugs. But when it all threatens to implode and you naturally think, "I just need something to calm me down!" try to stop right there and maybe just breathe through the next few minutes. Maybe you could have a sentence that you can hold onto to keep you in the present rather than the past or future (anxiety). Something as simple as "I'm OK right now."
 
^Seriously, I have mixed up so many people's genders on here. My favorite thing though is simply not knowing someone's gender and having it not really matter. In this discussion I understand it does to a certain extent but as far as the consequences of abuse I think that there are probably far more commonalities than differences.
 
Don't take this the wrong way, but how I took this post was that it seems like you have a bit of a closed mind. Why were you so opposed to yoga and "magical" breathing?

I have had debilitating mental health problems, and was raped multiple times by two different perps when I was younger and can identify there unfortunately- But my point is yoga and meditation (magical breathing) are the only things that allow me to function as a normal member of society. The change doesn't take place over-night, or even in a week; you really have to commit these practices to your daily life for a while making no excuses not to do them- giving it a couple of months. And it gets to the point where you see how it's benefiting you, and you become addicted to it in itself, and life really starts rolling.

I would be genuinely shocked if you were to try both for two months (yoga at least 3-4 times a week, and meditation for at least 20-30 minutes a day) and were to report back saying neither helped you whatsoever in the least bit.
 
^ I would agree that breathing--just simple breathing awareness--is a very powerful tool. It does not have to be formal. Simply concentrate on taking deep normal breaths in and out and concentrating your awareness of the physical act of breathing to calm your mind. It allows you to separate from anxious thinking. It allows a respite from looping thoughts. It is a wonderful tool to have--no magic really, but unbelievably powerful anyway.

If I wanted to do magical breathing I would have taken a yoga class and saved a fuck ton of money. Frankly I feel like I have earned the right to be sedated. Xanax is the number two most prescribed drug in the US. Its not like I am asking for fent patches or something exotic. If being repeatedly raped over the course of 6 years isn't enough to earn them then what do I have to go through? Even if the script is for only 6 doses of benzo a month that would get me out hot water at the clinic. I am trying really hard to save my life and everyone else seems to have their head in the sand. It makes me mad enough to scream.

Its become very apparent to me that kicking me off methadone is a death sentence but no one seems to really give a shit about that. At this point I just wish I had left well enough alone. Honestly if I wasn't on the clinic everything would be fine. I would just go on a little Xanax binge and forget all about the last 60 days in a month or two. But now I have the clinic breathing down my neck for the two positive results in a row. And on top of that they are starting to turn the screws over me smoking weed. In all reality I have about 6 months before they administratively discharge me for weed. If that happens I will be up shit creek in a way that is downright horrifying. This has the potential to spiral into a really dark place.

So yeah I fucked up real bad this time it seems. I know this probably wasn't the positive post everyone was looking for. Hell I really wanted to write a positive post but every time I started typing it just got darker and darker. So shit hopefully I am just really stressed out. There are some other outside stressors totally outside my control adding to the situation as well. So yeah I might write more later or something but I am feeling emotionally burned out right now. I appreciate everyone reading and replying I also appreciate all the really kind PMs. This has been really cathartic in a way.

You know, benzos, especially short acting ones like Xanax have a tendency to turn ugly over time. They lose their effects and you're stuck taking them just to avoid withdrawals. Some lucky people have been on the same dose for years and claims it works for them, but it usually doesn't work like that. There are many horror stories about inter-dose withdrawal and the likes. You'd be digging yourself a hole bigger than the one you're in. Exercise, yoga, meditation are all tools that you can utilize to permanently fix the fundamental problem that lies within you, unlike just patching it up and forgetting about it for a later date. It takes time and effort, but it does work in the long-run. Again, they aren't quick fixes, and us Americans love our quick fixes, especially in terms of over-prescribed psychiatric medication (xanax being the second most prescribed medication is absurd.... we have more anxiety than the rest of the world? I thought we are suppose to be the best country ever? How ever do these other countries get by without their xanax?)

I feel for you man. Having a benzo on hand PRN is one thing- but wanting to rely on one daily and be constantly sedated just isn't the best option, and I think you know that deep down.
 
Yeah I should have been more clear about the benzo thing. PRN is exactly what I meant. I have no desire to dig myself into a physical addiction with benzos that's why I would be happy with a small script say 10mgs a month. Like you said I don't need to be sedated all the time nor do I think its possible to do that long term. I totally agree with your assessment about benzos being a risky play but under the circumstances I feel like I am running out of choices. The meditation and breathing stuff is cool and I want to get into it. I just feel like I am bleeding out of an open wound right now and the blood is getting all over my life. Things are certainly getting messy.

Edit I am sorry if I came off as being hostile in the last reply. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to offer support. I am just frustrated.
 
Hey, cj, you have undertaken an excruciating excavation of memories and feelings and I can only imagine how crazy your emotions must be right now. We are all here for you and you are entitled to be frustrated, angry, and anything else you feel. I think your metaphor of an open wound with blood spilling out everywhere throughout your life is a pretty good one. Hang in there and have faith that you can get through this terrifying time to calmer waters. <3
 
@crimsonjunk & crunchyplanets. By the end of your posts I was in tears. This should never happen to a child! It makes me want to become a vigilante. I am going to school for psychology so that I can become a social worker so I can help children in these situations.

I was emotionally and verbally abused as a child which led to me self medicating with opiates. My abuse culminated in me acting out enough that I got kicked out of school. My grandmother and grandfather came to visit us and witnessing the way my parents acted and talked to me caused her to call my mom and say that she needs to rescue me, or I will end up as a suicide. This was age sixteen. These feelings have stuck with me. If you are told you are worthless and unwanted enough, you become that. I cannot imagine the emotional pain and anger that must dwell within your souls, and I wish I could do something to take it away.

I too was bullied in school but I always stood up for myself and fought back. I had so much frustration and anger in my heart from the way my home life was that I used to fight at the drop of a hat. Most bullies were not ready for that and it was incredibly cathartic sometimes even just to be beaten up because I was releasing a pressure valve in my brain. I was still bullied mercilessly though because my family didn't have the means and devoted all their money to my step brother and step sister. I also couldn't escape the abuse at school because a parent worked there, and would berate and belittle me in front of my peers, which also lead to bullying.

I too am in therapy for it and know exactly what you mean about having an hour session and at the end of the hour no matter where you are in what you are talking about you are pretty much ushered out. I was in one session and nearly at a breakthrough and ding hours over I have to leave. I don't know about you but it is hard for me to talk about some of the things that happened. My dad made me fight my brother in the garage to entertain himself and the neighbor. I broke my brothers hand. I love my brother so much and that really hurt me. It was in the middle of talking about this and coming to grips with it that the session ended. I felt betrayed.

It pains me to hear that your parents did nothing about it even after you told them. There is absolutely so much denial going on there that they had no right to be considered an advocate for you.

I think they should give you the benzos. I know for myself I have panic disorder, major depressive disorder, and OCD. They are incredibly helpful when I have a panic attack which is generally due to dreaming about or reliving things that happened in my childhood. I don't see why any doctor worth their salt wouldn't at least prescribe clonazepam just so you have a baseline that is not so anxious.

If there is anything that I can do for either of you please PM me. You are in my thoughts.

edit:
A month ago i did some research on molestation and found that most children who are molested are either promiscuous, or dont enjoy sex later on in life
I wonder if the same thing applies to mental abuse and emotional abuse and turning off your emotions rather than feel them?

You are my hero. No advice. I have known women that have been terribly abused and some struggle their whole life but function in family and work. Some are on disability. I knew a wonderful woman abused by her brother, and no one in a big family believed her, so she moved far away, forever. A woman I was dating said her husband raped her and held her at gun point. A middle class, professional woman friend told me that her women's someone asked, "Who here was molested as a child?" and half of the hands went up. But no advice -- you are as wise as they come. Some people have found this helpful -- it is not new agey, or spacey, or religious, nor does it have "steps" and it is not mystical -- it is just real people dealing with real shit in a safe place http://womanwithin.org/community/
 
Gosh all of you are so kind :) it means the world to me it really does. I was prescribed 10mg of kolonopin a month last night. Its not much but shit I will take it as a start. I have also decided to keep writing stuff like my OP to show my therapist and guide my treatment. So yeah thanks for all the kind replys and PMs I love this site.
