I honestly can not read all of this. I am also a victim... so it's an honest trigger for me.... but I support you. I never came clean with these accusations... because I simply don't remember the full details....
It took me a long time. I fasted and didn't sleep for 3 days straight. When my body became exhausted my mind had this clarity. I can't explain it. I barely slept for an entire week because everytime I closed my eyes the images would come back. Now I just make sure in completely exhausted before bed and wake up super early to disrupt any dreams that might come..
I know a trick that might help with your trauma. Now, I didn't deal with anything even remotely close to what you dealt with, so no guarantees. I just had a simple motorbike accident, no long term trauma like you.
Well, one night, I decided to let the images do what they do, didn't try stopping them. What happens is, after a short while, everything starts playing really fast and extremely loud until it sounds like a death metal drummer is playing his bass drum next to your head. That part is what I assume scares most people, I don't know, but try letting it wash over you however scary and loud it gets. At the end, it just pops like a balloon and you're back in the real world, relieved and crying a little. Also, focusing hard on the images might help getting your mind off the fear.
Again, I've never had long term trauma, so not sure if it'll work but it's worth a try. Unless you get super freaked out and start doing drugs or something. Then, sorry.
I have had nightmares too... my kiddos are young. I feel for their safety.... I'm just extra alert....teaching them about gun safety... The whole 9.. #pizzagate is real. Our children are definitely a target....
