Dear mrsinconsolable:

You asked: “Do you think it’s better for me just to forget about it than to know the truth?”

My answer: No, because the truth will not rest. Reality does not accommodate denying it. On the long run it pays great dividends to see reality as is.

From your shares on both threads, it seems to me that a one time sexual abuse incident that you forgot will not explain your early onset and extent of your anxiety- in terms of time duration and many, many fears.

At the very least, as a child, you were not noticed. All those fears and no one was there to help you. On the other thread you mentioned acting crazy in school so to get attention. It is congruent with the fact that as a child you were so afraid and yet you mention nothing about anyone noticing and trying to help you.

So at the very least, you were unattended.

If you’d like to communicate with me further, I am willing. Please choose one of your two threads and I will reply there after every time you post there.
