Possible sexual assault?

Question

I was baby sat when I was young, maybe 3-4 by a women who had older boys. The older I get, the more I am remembering things that went on. I remember this boy coming into the bathroom with me when I was getting dressed for school and touching my hair and telling me I'm pretty. I specifically remember the day cause it was picture day and my dad bought me a cute outfit. I keep getting more and more disturbed by this cause I am remembering more. I looked up this guys background check, which he's probably in his 30's and he has multiple rape and child porn charges.

Next I remember being at my moms house in Th basement with a boy who  I now remember him telling me to take his pants off. This is all I remember as of now. It's weird. My mom was a drug addict so we would have all kind of weirdos running around. These thoughts are bothering me cause I feel as if more had happened. I struggle with depression, extreme OCD and social anxiety disorder.

Should I seek out a therapist? Or is this my crazy mind trying to make things up?!

Answer

Seek a therapist. When your a kid your brain tries to normalize behaviours to protect you and will go into autopilot mode. It sounds like you are now ready to deal with unresolved issues and your brain is helping by slowly releasing memories- to not overwhelm you.

Answer

It's not your brain playing games on you. Children usually block memories that Make them uncomfortable/unhappy they forget tragedies unpurpose. I had the same thing happen to me, now I remember everything from the age of 3. So seek help I didn't and it was tough, your mind is ready to deal with the pain you blocked as a child.
