relief?

[brad]

i recently was at a party,had quite a bit to drink.A friend mentioned that I looked like I was very sad.Without even hesitating I replied that it was because I had been molested when I was a child.There were other people around and probaly heard,I am not sure.But now I am afraid to show up at work.It feels like the depression I thought I had under control has taken over again.I find it hard to control my thoughts and emotions.I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

I just wanted to mention that in my original post I did not intend to disclose that fact to anyone,I just spoke what was on my mind without any forethought.

Brad, hey, I always wanted to scream out and tell folks just how much I was hurt.
I was so scared of letting drink loosen my mind, and let the hurt out, so it just served to numb my mind.
Nobody can ever touch the hurt or even be where you have been. The nearest thing you will get is being here, the ones who have been there. I hope you get the support of your workmates.
Show up at work, I am sure you will find support, and you will find your true friends, the ones who care for you.

I welcome you as it is your first post,

Yes I have - I was drunk the first time I ever told anyone & I am now so pleased that I did. My friends have given me more support than I could ever have expected.

It's been a long road, but my abuser is in court next week entering a plea of guilty/not guilty.

Best wishes ...Rik
