Question

effected by it, eg having trouble holding down a job, anger, fustration, depression etc

Answer 1

I am fine... I think. Actually I'm pretty messed up and I don't really know what is wrong with me. I am obsessed with perfection and terrified of everything. I can't sleep most nights because I'm scared and I don't even know what I'm afraid of. I have images in my head that scare me and they don't go away but I don't know where they came from. Usually though I go out into the world with a smile on my face and pretend everything is fine. I'm a pretty good actress.

Answer 2

I'm still suffering...still trying to work through it...it's difficult. Definitely won't be able to live a "normal" life because of it. I have a lot of serious mental issues that cannot be fixed. Why do you ask?

Answer 3

I dont know, about emotional abuse, but a bunch of mental illnesses is making my life horrible.
