really bad panic attacks and unwanted thought etc. A panic disorder.

My parents knew nothing and my father didn't believe in schrinks. So I went to the minister. Somehow he got me believing that he was the only one that could save me from the impending loss of my mind that I believed would happen.

And that caused me to make up stuff in my head when he would touch me inappropriately. I literally one time told myself he didn't realize what he was doing because he was a minister, (a man of God) even the guy was married and had 5 kids!

It is amazing how the brain will act to try and keep you from knowing things that you don't want to know.

This was 40 years ago.
