Provided you are not being checked into a facility against your will, nor showing up stating clearly & repeatedly that you are going to hurt someone (including yourself) any reputable mental health professional will want to start you in therapy.  A psychiatrist may want to put you on medication, but medication is only really neccessary if you feel that your life is out of control.  Apart from medication, ongoing therapy is the sort of help they should offer.  Good luck.

Psychotherapy is helpful in the way that it helps you understand that your in a cycle of abuse and to also help you relise that you are a worthwhile person, so don't try to commit suicide because these a***holes have abused you. Remember you cannot help what's happened to you even if you have tried rationalising the circumstances around your abuse. You don't deserve to be abused in any form, sexually, emotionally, verbally or finacially and it's not your fault, please remember that. I have also been through this and made it through to the end of the tunnel. You killing yourself is not the answer, but fighting to be part of this world and have a good life is! Anyone whose ever said, "You probably deserved it" or "You need to forget about it" should be whipped and chained themselves. You'll never forget, but you can get on and have a healthier and better life, and it will take time to heal those wounds and to gain trust back, but it will happen if you give psychotherapy a go, and take anti anxiety meds for a while to help rationalise you. Yes, psychotherapy may bring up some past horrors, but sometimes you need to face them to overcome the fears, and I know how bloody hard that is, but it helped me to face many demons and triumph over them. Now I am remarried to a wonderful and loving man, and I have my three children who I adore. Now I know what life is all about and so will you if you want to start healing. Be kind to yourself and let psychotherapy start healing you.

You should probably ask that question to a psychiatrist, you undoubtedly need one. You should get locked away.

Yikes.....that has got to be a pretty disturbing thing to have to try and live with all the time.   I mean....it's a lot better to really "be there".....if you want to take part in things.   Like I have to tell you that, huh ??\n\n  And yeah, the child abuse that happened is almost certainly the reason that you developed this habit. \n\n  When you were a kid "removing yourself"  really **did** protect you from stuff that otherwise would have truely been too overwhelming to take in.  So at one time....it really was a truely protective and helping thing.\n\n  But now that you are older....it's kind of outlived its usefullness....as an everyday thing that happens.\n\n  At the same time....it may be things that....somehow resemble the abusive situations from the past are what set. it off now.   You know :  "Triggers".....as they are called ??\n\n  So yes....working through your abuse issues would probably be the *very first* thing that anyone familiar with abuse would recomend.  Not just for the depersonalization...but in the larger overall sense of things.\n\n   If you can find some resolution to....how you think and react to thoughts of things that still linger in your mind from back then.....and try and understand them from....you know....where you are now, now that you are older...that might give your ways of reacting....a different and more mature set of thoughts to work from ?\n\n   As you probably know.....working through abuse issues is no picnic.  It can be painful, and can take a long time.\n\n  But the outcome is that...you become more free from those old ways of reacting...and can move on.\n\n  And that's something that every abuse victim deserves.\n\n    Bob J.

You're on the right track to recovery by admitting you have a problem.  My recommendation would be to seek out psychoanalytic therapy. In this such case I think it would be best because you seem, to me, to have unresolved past issues that need sorting out.  Afterwards, I suggest cognitive-behavioural therapy.  This will help you to manage and change your behaviour by learning how to change your cognitive thought processes that lead you to anti-social behaviour (I mean anti-social in its correct use meaning behaviour that is not socially acceptable or against societal mores).\n\nBut before that I would recommend, and I KNOW you don't want to hear this, that you consider seeking help from a hospital psych. ward.  You are not crazy.  But a psych ward is the section of the hospital where they deal with people in your situation as well as psychotics.  Again, you are NOT crazy.\n\nI wish I could be of more help, but I am still only just working on my Honours degree and I'm afraid I cannot give psychological therapy.

I assume you have a Psychiatrist.\nThis is only adding to your disorder - the stress.  Ask him/her for help.  There ARE people and/or places who will take animals for a "vacation."\nDo NOT avoid getting the help YOU need because of this.  As you said - you're no good to your pet (what's a chi?) in your condition.  What would happen if you were not here to be with him?\nAlso - Hospital social worker should be able to help. There are a lot of good people out there who would take him for awhile for little if any cost.\nDo you have a Social Worker with Adult Protective or Social Services?  Someone will help!!  First - you must help yourself!!

Depends how hard i'd be tortured. No, I changed me mind. I'd so rather live. It might give me a new aspect on life - though I'd be traumatized as hell! One of my WORST fears is getting kidnapped.

I bet it would be alot like looking into the mirror and seeing yourself screaming when you aren't even making a sound, or maybe it's like seeing demons crawl out from underneath your eyelids first thing in the morning, or maybe like you are a prisinor and everybody in your house is a guard and they will attack you if you try to escape. or maybe it's like eating stray cats and wearing the fur. Maybe. I don't know. Sounds like your the one thats crazy to me.

well , what are you now??? i would imagine your personality would stay sorta the same,,,,,,,but would be slightly altered by the differece in the way you grew up

Glad you aren't related to me! Yikes!  But, really though you do sound like you have some problems you need help with before you do something you will regret.  Call a mental help line or your doctor or if you really think you might hurt somebody just call the police & they will take you to a place where you can get help.  Please call them BEFORE you hurt or kill anybody ok?

GO to the police. no there is no statute of limitations on child abuse. if you dont go you it will eat at you for the rest of you life and you will not be able to be completely happy. also go to counsoling. it really does help and you will be able to move on.

Watch them very closely for behavioral and personality changes, monitor close relationships they may have on a regular basis with "everyone". These days, nobody can be trusted, it happens alot within the family or babysitters. Take them for a check-up with family physician, and you may consider a child-psychologist depending on the age of a child. I had a niece that at three was being molested and became a split-personality by the age of 5. A child psychologist hypnotized her and we got to the "root" of the problem at that point. They also use dolls with young children. I am also a psychology major so if there is a concern, please follow up on it, it can destroy a child and haunt them through adulthood.
