Okay so i received a couple of emails asking me why have I not seeked professional help as in therapy, well here is my personal opinion most psychologists in Kuwait are a BIG joke and do not take their profession seriously.
A few years back i went through major deep depression and locked myself in my room for 3 months never going out or seeing anyone, back then it was hard for me to accept that i am not like the other girls and so on, yes as i got older i have realized the reality of my situation and hit me hard so i chose to prison myself. My parents were worried sick especially my mother she cried her eyes out she wanted me to snap out of it so after much talk i decided to see a psychologist..(BIG MISTAKE!)
I chose a famous Kuwaiti psychologist who appeared a couple of times on the telly, i figured since everyone knew him he might be good, how wrong was I. I admit i was very nervous seeing him maybe because he is a Kuwaiti and the fact that i was going to reveal my secret did not feel right somehow.
After exposing my emotions i was appalled at his reaction in fact he made a joke and laughed at my expense, instead of taking my anger and hurt away he only fueled it and made it worse. After a few visits i came to the conclusion that this guy is a fraud and in no way an educated man! he talks too much and NEVER LISTENS, every time i see him he adds more wood to my raging fire.....at my last visit i gave him a piece of my mind i still remember his horrid shocked expression i left him with.
So my dear friends tell me in a society such as ours where can anyone who desperately seeks help go to?
I hope this post answered your emails.
Blessed be,
Poena.

I shamelessly laughed while reading the part where the shrink made a joke! Seriously it’s no joking matter but then again its not the end of the world and your not the first to go through child abuse.
Do you think blogging will help?
What else have you tried to do?
error: Yes blogging does help alot, you can not imagine the number of emails i am getting people for the very first time talked about their abuse and it made them feel better, as long as i could help others in a way it is helping me to.
I have not tried anything after that experience what is there more to do other then just bury it deep in me and live on?
Glad to see you posting again Poena =]
Poena, why don't you try again and again? Once is never be enough. Going to different psychologists may help. If you kept refusing to try again, tara nothing will change and everything will remain as it is and that will makes you worse than before. Or if you can e-mail any foreign psychologist, don't hesitate to e-mail him/her. I knew that you didn't go to that psychologist ella li2anich you want to change your life to the best and to try to forget about that thing, right? So, go for it and do it right away. You went to that stupid Kuwaiti psychologist, it doesn't meant that ALL of the Kuwaiti ones are like him. Think about it deeply if you really want to wake up from that nightmare you've been in since your childhood. If you don't want to try it again, it's your personal decision and you know what is the best for you to do. But one question Poena if you don't mind to ask you, what are you going to do then? I mean, will you stay like that for the rest of your life, doing nothing? You have be strict to take your decision and work on it. It's never too late for you to do it, but at least if you do it you won't lose anything more than you've lost, you know.
I really hope to hear good news about you Poena. If you thought about it just tell us 3ashan nifra7lich 7abebty and we will be with you.
Good luck ^_^
you can have a professional starbucks coffee with me sometimes
I just can add my voice to the opinion which was told already: try to find a good one. & probably, not a famous one.
But the main thing... have good friends around you who can accept & support you any time.
Welcome back, Poena ;-)
