There are some things about my ex that I want to get off my chest. Should I contact her?
For starters, it depends on if the break up was really bad or not. If either of you were extremely angry when it ended, especially if it involved infidelity or any other sort of trust issue, you need to ask yourself… am I trying to contact her to open dialogue and reconnect or to appease my own guilt over something or to vent about how mad I still am? If there are unanswered questions regarding your relationship and/or break-up, will she answer them honestly without drama? Will you be ok with any answer she may give? Did she do something you feel she owes you an apology for and will her apology make a difference to you if she gives one? Do you owe her one, and if so, does she want to hear it? Before you can answer if you should contact her or not, you need to determine your true intentions and reasons for contacting her. Sometimes it’s good to say your piece, they may or may not respond, it may or may not allow healing. Sometimes it’s best to let it go.
What do you want to get off your chest that been holding you back? And how do you feel after?
I'm fucking angry.Since I was about 6 to 8 I've developed something like misophonia or a sensory disorder, basically, sounds, seeing people do certain things, certain smells or fabrics that I feel all irritate me and anger me.Now some say I'm just looking for attention or control, you know what I say? Fuck off.No one I've met deals with I do on this level. I'm in a 7 person family with a mom and step dad who have anger problems and tell at all the kids, and to make matters better, he even ripped off my door for who knows why.I’m constantly surrounded by people who are loud, obnoxious and annoying who dont give a shit about my “condition”.My mom claims I'm like this because I'm crazy and because of vaccines and that I need to detox like I'm some fucking cancer patient.My step dad thinks I'm doing it so I can control people, and my siblings dont give a single fuck.Imagine, you have the stress of of high school classes with no door and 3 little brats screaming, fighting, dancing, singing and playing outside your room 8 hours a day and nothing to stop and them and no where to go.I've tried anything and everything to fix it but nothing works, I want a therapist or therapy but everyone laughs at it and mocks me for it, for again, “wanting control and attention”.Im angry, I'm bitter, I'm sad, I'm depressed.I can't stop them.I only want silence. I want to be alone. I want people to give a fuck and not mock me and laugh at me like a damn physco.Im on the verge of turning 15 but I dont know if I can hold on for another 3 years, as I will likely just fucking kill myself if this doesn't get better and God forbid it get worse.I've talked to friends and family, some say I'm faking it, some say they believe me but then turn their back on me and dont ever talk to me and treat me like a damn physcopath.I have nowhere to go and 1 person to talk to which I'm sure is already tired of me complaining to them about this same shit.Say I'm crazy, say I'm an attention whore or say whatever you want. I don't give a shit anymore. I'll probably kill myself before anyone starts caring anyways
What is something you want to "get off your chest"?
I got gang raped.Gang. Raped.I'm going to give some details… so I guess trigger warningI went to a fish market with my uncle and grandma. My grandma is old and can't walk very well so I was waiting with her for my uncle to get some fish. This huge man comes and picks me up from behind. I'm pretty strong, but this man was much stronger. He grabbed me and ran as I screamed for my uncle to help me. He came too late.So. The big man “A”The other men are “B” “C” and “D”A grabbed me and brought me to a cornerB C D take turns throwing me against a fence as they all undress. They all are on me at the same time. One would be one my face making me suck his dick. One would be masturbating on my chest. One would be doing whatever he wanted on my vagina. One would be holding down my legs.They tied down my arms above my head, stripped me naked, did their rotations, and broke my ankle.I kept squirming so they punched me, gagged me, and stabbed right below my ribcage with a knife. I stopped moving and they rotated a few times. When they were done, about and hour later, they tied to me to fence.They would grab me from behind, touch all over me, cum on me, and then forced me to masturbate. They stuck their fingers up my vagina, put their dicks in my mouth. They made me masturbate on the floor, and then would smack me with their dicks wherever they felt like it.It was torturous. I was in so much pain. They ran Away. The police were searching everywhere, and then one found me on the floor behind a trashcan in an alley. They took me to a hospital, and it gave me so much emotional trauma.Right now, a year later, I am crying in my room, too scared to go anywhere, ripping at my thighs and stomach with a blade. Burning with lighters. I never told anyone else. The only people that know is my grandma, uncle, mom, and dad. I'm too scared to tell anyone.
