Do people overcome mental abuse or do most people need assistance to overcome mental abuse?
robert f asked:
During my childhood, I think I experienced mental abuse. I think about it everyday of my life (I am 25years old). Should I seek help or wait until my problem goes away?

I am 28 and i still think about it… get some help now or it will never stop. it may go away with meds, but thats just covering up whats there. look into cognitive treatments and counseling.

if it is causing problems for you now.. seek help with a psychologist, because it probably isn’t going to go away on it’s own (at least, not easily)…
find a counselor you feel comfortable with, and that you feel you can trust. This person will teach you how to deal with the thoughts and feelings, and show you how to move past them.

Most people need some type of help in overcoming psychological abuse, especially when the abuse occurred during childhood years when you’re still developing.

The good thing is that it does go away eventually, takes quite a bit of time but it goes. The bad thing is that it leaves scars that are so hard to heal….It always depends on the individual and whether one is psychologically fit and strong enough to deal with it on their own. I’ve had some serious mental abuse from my ex husband and decided to deal with it on my own. No regrets, it’s done and over with. But I wish I would consult someone on the way because sometimes the hurt was almost unbearable to handle. It’s entirely your choice, you know yourself better than anyone but I would suggest you do seek some psychological support yes because you it’s torturing you and you really need live to the fullest and deserve to have a good quality life.

Seek help. Counseling can do wonders. Maybe try a CodA group (Codependents Anonymous).
