Suggest Signs And Symptoms To Identify Depression And Trauma

I have just discovered ( I am 79 April 30), that I may have been emotionally regressed since I was 10 due to unaddressed sexual abuse and I am feeling in a black hole and have been a few weeks. Also have been physically down. I am struggling between grief and gratitude but having a hard time. I am also an abortion survivor and my first suicide attempt was after the abuse. The last was in 2004. I think I just need some affirmation that what I am going through is normal for my situation. Thank you,Eve

Hello and welcome to HCM,
I suggest you to consult a psychiatrist for the problem since it is not normal to having the feelings that you are experiencing.
In addition, I also suggest you to discuss your problem with a close family member who can accompany you to psychiatrist.

Thanks and take care
