Hello anons. So just a bit of backstory. I endured some serious emotional abuse as a child. Never anything physical, but incessant psychological torment was the norm for me.

I took it on the nose and didn't complain or share, but it fucked me up. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized how drastically different the conditions of my childhood, and the state of my mind were from the norm, and the psychologically healthy. I had even been diagnosed with some serious psychological problems including legit PTSD and others which I'll omit for my own comfort.
In the process of my recovery, which has yielded drastic results in my life (I have no money for therapists or anything.) I've shared with friends and learned to meditate and ask introspective questions. I sort of broke a mainline recently and it's weighing heavily on my mind. I'm recalling with uncomfortable clarity some really perverse things that occurred in my childhood. Is this an appropriate board to talk about this type of stuff on? Is there a better board? is there even a subreddit I could go to to talk?. I'm not really comfortable talking to my friends about it. I want the security of anonymity, and like I said, I have no money for therapy.
