Medical mutilation causing mental pain/distress/torture

    Hello, I was trying to search on the forum some posts where members would talk about injuries that cause them physical mutilations and it would be for them very hard to accept it.
    I was injured during medical procedure - anoscopy- with anal fissures (https://cetinkaraca.com/en/what-is-anal-fissure-symptoms-and-treatment/).
    It will be soon 5 months since the injury- and I think I am turning the corner with the actual injury pains. Of course I am very well aware of psychosomatic ghost pains that accompany me 24/7.


    First I thought that I was having a skin tag on the outside of my anus that I would have to accept and live with.
    Once I was about to accept it and try to relax - I realised that I was having also Anal Papillae as well (so the whole triad of the anal fissure).

    On reddit one member confirmed that this feeling as if Im having rectal-anus prolapse each time I am having BM - is well anal papillae = anal skin mass that is coming out from inside with each passing stool, and then gets sucked inside once I am done.

    After he accepted to have a look at my photo - he s reply was this :


    Kinda looks like papille or hem but mine I can clearly see two like one skin tag and one prolapse two different bumps

    Yours seems like skin tag to me that I think you push inside and it comes out
    Cause skin tag goes in like hardly for few mins and are always out.

    Though I can’t really tell cause Ofcourse it’s a surgeon job :/ still seem the prolapse is same as mine :/

    I cancelled my proctologist visit , cause I know it will just add to my over all distress and this anger with the doctor that injured me - will get me nowhere !


    I saw local psychologist lady and we talked about mainly about my narcissistic mother and enabler father. She is totally with me that I should cut all ties with those people and learn how to love myself and do each day 3 things that make me happy that feel in the connection with my psyche and my body. I noticing that since I am so aware of the toxic parental dynamics- my dreams are so terrifying and so distressful - I see my dad in my dreams forcing me to do cleanings and prosç%& ion - to get an apartment for him, then I see one of those narcissist men that abused and exploited me sexually - trying to abuse me again!

    when the carousel of one injury after another started- torn tendons, frozen shoulder, then back tendinitises elbow shoulder - it wall healed and have no psychological injury signs , but this last one injury of my anus is having profound impact onto me - cause its not only that I was abused analy by narcissist men , cause my mother trained me to be peoples and men pleaser, but then on top off all it- I was injured medically ( rapped literally with huge metal anoscope ) that left me with body mutilations )... All I wanted is to make sure that I am not having anal HPV cancer (sexually transmitted with unprotected anal sex) and by some cruel destiny ???!!! or by some TMS evil plan ???!!!!!! - I am now left with physical medical mutilations that no matter how much time will pass they wont disappear like pain from tendinitis or my back !!!


    I am reading Gabor Mate ( when body says NO) - and one possible explanation that I have - is that the longer you let yourself to continue be people s pleaser - the greater your injuries will be - till one day it can be too late !!!!!! cause for some of people that he is describing - it becomes too late and they die !!!!


    I know that there is so much to this TMS that is waiting to be discovered=uncovered and one of those things are those accident or medical injuries that have pain and physical mutilation (=mental pain) component.




    So here I come - aware and terrified of all abuse done by my narcissistic family , my choices that were unconscious escape from emotional pain , physical body injuries since last Summer that added to already existing PTSD ....


    Physical pain is gone !!! how do I deal with psychological pain that is caused by permanent physical body s mutilation - part of the body that is related to multiple physical and mental abuses and part which daily will be making me aware of it ...


    thanks for any input

    I don't know, @Vasilisa. I'm sorry, but you've been on this forum long enough for everyone here to have already given you their best advice on how to move on with your life. I'm very glad you are seeing a therapist for all of the abuse and trauma that you have endured because you need advise at that level of expertise. We are just amateurs here, and unfortunately, the traumas of severe physical and sexual abuse are far beyond our capabilities to help.

    Also, you continue to post medical details here even though we do not comment on such details here, because they are irrelevant to TMS work and we are not medical professionals. As long as you keep doing this, it just means that you're obsessed about your physical symptoms and as long as you're obsessed about your physical symptoms you cannot recover.

    The only advice I can offer about your obsession with all of your perceived injuries is to go find inspiring stories about people who have suffered even more disabling injuries, such as amputations, spinal injuries, cerebral palsy, blindness, and so on. Find out what it took for them move past their injuries and get on with their lives.

    Keep engaging in psychotherapy for the abuse that you suffered. You might need therapy for a long long time, in order to overcome your victimhood. Because here's the thing: it's really your victimhood which is holding you back. Victimhood and Recovery cannot exist together. You will not recover psychologically while you still see yourself as a victim. This is an important topic for you to discuss in therapy.

    In the meantime, here is a story I posted recently about a young woman who had to rebuild her life and body after a devastating accident, with lessons for all of us about rejecting victimhood:
