I am damaged.
I have lost the ability to trust. I cannot bond, I struggle to identify with others and (worse?) I now no longer care.
I have never had a 'healthy' sex life. I doubt I ever will. The extent of this damage I find too much to comprehend and too disgusting to ever put words to.
I have spent 20 years too scared to live, to develop, to become - and now I am old, and I have little opportunity to engage in anything. Either way it is too late for so much.
I have developed severe mental health problems that will remain with me for the rest of my life. Basically, only medication is keeping me alive right now.
I want my life back. The one I had. The one that was supposed to be mine.
