Sexual Abuse Healing

This is so amazing!  I happened upon this board by chance, and I've never before heard that fibromyalgia was directly linked to sexual abuse.  It makes so much sense! 

Hi.  I'm Sofie.  I'm a new member at the Bi-Polar Message Board.  I found fibro listed as part of the Bi-polar Disorder Affective Spectrum.  I learned that my claustrophobia was from the sexual abuse, but never made the connection to the fibromyalgia.   I am both bi-polar and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (father). 

Suppressing and repressing emotions is costly.  It can be deadly. 

There is a book I'm looking for:  The Molecules of Emotion by Nancy P-something.  Has anyone come across it?  It binds the physics to the physiology. 

Hi Sofie, welcome to the board. I'm glad you found us.

Would you mind coming up to the top folder "A safe place to share" and introducing yourself.  Or members don't often look in this folder so your post may not be seen by others.

Suppressing and repressing emotions is costly.  It can be deadly.  That is so true.
