If you've been abused can you ever be normal again?

i have experience with children that have been abused, and its very hard for other people to understand, isn't it? It feels like no one understands the torment that haunts abuse victims for the rest of their lives! First of all, do not kill yourself, there is so much opportunity to live for, and its so easy to get help... go to a doctor tell them about your depression and that it coudl possibly be post traumtic stress disoder- it will be really scary at first to do this- but i know you can! You are probably a very strong person inside and you deserve this!
