I am a survivor of childhood abuse and need help?
It happened during a period of several years during 25 years. I am currently in the process of adopting the perpetrators before the courts. I need to talk to a counselor Tho as I obviously feel very depressed at times (I was diagnosed with clinical depression). My doctor even said it takes months, but what I wanted to know. . . . Does anyone know of any support groups in North London United Kingdom, which could make an appointment until it is through counseling. I tried Google, the services of women, children, I think they have tried. It would be nice if there was a kind of point of sale, which is good to talk about what they say. . . I just need someone to listen.

i am sorry for your pain. i can’t understand why humans are so brutal to
each other. all i can say is that you will feel better. what you are doing now
is dealing with people who were abusive so it right in your face. once you
can go on with the rest of your life you will be able to heal. talking to others
can help but the true healing will happen inside of you. writing down how
you feel is just as helpful as talking. it is like talking to yourself and believe
it or not it will help. get a pen and paper and write. it is the best therapy.
Sam abuse happened to me too.
Unless you are going to get monetary compensation, i think the first thing u should do is drop the court case.
Then seek the services of a Thought Field Therapist or a Reflexologist or a Kiniesiologist, these therapies help to ‘fix’ the trauma within a month!
Another great thing is St Johns Wort, just take 3 capsules 3 times a day for at least 6 weeks, together with a liver detox.
An Indian Herbalist can help immensely too, theres a herb called Triphala, it helps the memory cells to cleanse and to forget the pain.
Also avoid personal chemical products and animals as they have so many parasites (these make us feel bad too)
Voluntary work and self fulfillment courses help greatly as well.
You can always email me here in australia, if you need a chat!
I am sorry this has happened to you, I have 2 little girls living with me that have been victims of abuse.
I am not from your area but have you tried calling a mental health place, they usually know where the support groups like that are and can give you a list, or maybe a health department.
I hope this helps and keep looking because support groups are really important for people dealing with issues. Remember, you may need to go to more than one, the group you go to may not be for you but don’t stop looking.
Good luck and you will be in my thoughts.
You certainly need to talk it out with a trained psychologist but in the meantime find a friend or pen pal with whom you can talk. Talking/writing absolutely helps get it out of your system though you will never forget the pain. This depression is only temporary. Stay strong, remember what they did was 100% wrong and one or another they will have to reconcile with those who will judge them.
I am very sorry you experienced child abuse. I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and commend you for having the strength and courage to take your abusers to court. Good for you!!
There are many on-line support groups, I highly recommend isurvive.org as it is a heavily moderated and safe site.
Also, while you are waiting for your first session, might I suggest contacting a local help line? They have trained staff who will listen and support you and possibly direct you to a support group or offer interim counselling. I found a site you may find interesting, http://depression-world.org.uk/helplines_uk.php
I wish you all the best in your healing.
Do a search for counselors in North London on the Internet. Meanwhile, there are many, many online support groups. Start at IVillage. Online support groups are really good.
