I know I have repressed memories of sexual abuse. I don't have any childhood memories and my sister tells me alot about our childhood. When I was seven yrs old I tied sheets together and tried to climb out my second story bedroom window. I fell. A normal happy 7 yr old wouldn't do this. How do I try to remember what happened to me? I do remember being in a bathroom with a female babysitter and she wouldn't let my sister in. She was about 16. I was prob 3 or 4. I am female. I have suffered from severe depression for over 15yrs and am a cutter. I've been to therapy sporadically in the past 13 yrs. I'm ready to remember what happened to me. Does anyone know a way to remember these repressed memories? I feel like there was more than one person and more than one incident, but they didn't affect me until my teen years.

I've had physical abuse in the back, and I don't remember any of it, other than one or two times. I feel you there, I would usually be kicked out of my house and would sit at random places. Suffered depression, but am over it now. Teen years are a big thing, been there.
