YOU ARE NOT GOING CRAZY!

In the introduction to the 25th Anniversary Edition of her book, Women and Madness, Phyliss Chesler, M.D. writes:

We now understand that women and men are not "crazy" or "defective"when, in response to trauma, they develop post traumatic symptoms,including insomnia, flashbacks, phobias, panic attacks, anxiety,depression, dissociation, a numbed toughness, amnesia, shame, guilt, self-loathing, self-mutilation, and social withdrawal.
Oppression causes bodily changes. These changes make you think you are going crazy. There is a difference between a mental illness and a psychological injury.

Victims of abuse are not mentally ill, they have been injured.

ONLINE PREDATORS/ CYBERPATHS CAUSE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA!! Serious mental & emotional distress. Many of them ENJOY causing you pain.


Do not let others minimize what has happened to you! Telling you things like "get over it; move on; it was a game; it was just online" etc, is FURTHER ABUSE! - EOPC
