Hi I'm scream58.

I didn't do an introduction when I found the forums but jumped right in where I felt a connection.

I'm 63yo, not old but not young, just floating in a grey area. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence ... and more.

I'm currently scared that my therapist will become aware of my self-harm and will put me in hospital. I am terrified of hospital stays. 

I recently had a stroke and have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. These, along with other medical conditions are combining to push me deeper into depression and fatigue. 

I have chronic anxiety and am currently an emotional wreck.
