Will it ever end?

As an abuse survivor I ask myself this question more often than not. Will it ever end? Will the emotional pain ever end? Will I ever have a night when it isn't disturbed by nightmares or a day that isn't disrupted by flashbacks? Will I ever be able to go to a store or to other public places and not worry about whether or not I will be able to make go in and not have a panic attack?

I wonder -- this is the torment of being an abuse survivor.
