How long does it take to fully recover from what happened? I thought I was doing well, but my mental health has relapsed and I'm taking stupid risky actions again.

I was doing well for about 6 months there. It's all come back and hit me again during a party at a friend's house.

I was in talk therapy for 3 months, but that's all the NHS could offer me. I'm waiting on another referral now.

Psychiatry in my area is a 3 year wait list. I've got 2 years and 1 month left to go.

To all posters: Please note that any content involving descriptions of sexual activity with underage persons is against Reddit policy. You are "officially" discouraged from posting such content, but given the specific nature of this subreddit, moderation is following a laissez-faire philosophy regarding what survivors of childhood sexual abuse share here. This mirrors the approach of other survivor subreddits. Also, the Reddit policy's intent is to restrict content that "depicts, encourages or promotes" the sexualization of underage persons, and the purpose of this subreddit is the exact opposite of that. However, be aware that posts and replies in violation may still be subject to removal and Reddit-wide suspension of the author by the Reddit admins. So please use common sense when posting/replying. We want this to remain a safe space for survivors to share, heal and thrive, but we need to be mindful of the site-wide rules regarding these sensitive topics. (Note to Admins: We vehemently stand against sexual abuse of minors and this subreddit exists to support survivors in the best way possible. Please contact the moderator team if a discussion needs to occur.)

Hi. 58 m. I was sexually abused by my dad when I was a toddler. I cope as best I can, but I am hypersexual, even now.

Everyone is different, though.

Keep in mind that I am not a therapist.
