First blog post

I just joined today April 27 2010 and am now part of the Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse. I was subject to physical and emotional abuse as child and still bear the scars. I.e. I have a hard time making friends, and often put my foot in my mouth in company. I randomly get mild panic attacks and don't know how to deal with confrontation. The list goes on.... Over the past few years, I have been in therapy, and have made progress healing myself and am starting to move on. I am hoping to learn (on this website) new ways to heal myself and move on, and hopefully make some friends in the process. I also plan on sharing my experiences, thoughts, and feelings regarding my experiences in hope that it will provide others with some guidance and healing.
