Sometime Ithink that after all of thease years of living with the effects of SA that my life will allways be messed up and I just have to deal with this crap. peronoia and the anger have not left after 29 years it neaver will
Stay with it Mike, it does get better or rather we get better at dealing with the issues that CSA raises ..... but I recognise that I still have off days and can easily slip back ... but just remember ..... this too shall pass.

As Kirk said stay with it. When I first came here I was suffering badly from clinical depression and thought I'd have it all my life. It's getting better. Somedays it's still crap. Somedays I'm back in hell.
But when I am I come here. And I try not to punish myself. It helps me so much to know others feel the same and what you've said is so familiar to me. Stay with it bro we're here for ya!
Michael - I don't expect it ever to be perfect, but I can look back and see when I hit rock bottom. I'm never going back there if I can help it.
I even have a small Chinese tattoo on my arm (above my elbow) - it means promise or vow (at least I hope it does) - I got this so I can touch it at times that I don't feel so good. The reason I got it because: 'I promise, vow to myself that I will never ever let myself get so low again beacause of that pervert!'
I guess it's different for all of us. But I can tell you that in Nov. 2004 I was a total mess and thought I would always be like that. It's a LOT better now! No, I'm not recovered, and yes, I still be triggered and ambushed sometimes. But it's worth the work, that I can tell you for sure.
