General Physical or Sexual Abuse?

[Heatman]

Have you ever been abused physically or sexually? How did that affect your mental state? Was it strong enough to push you into depression? How have you coping living with the experience? 

Which one is worst between being abused physical or sexually?

I was physically and verbally abused by my parents growing up as a child. It really made me suffer complex issues as I couldn't mingle with people because I felt I was not good enough. It was much later in my life that I was able to overcome that self esteem issues caused by that abuse in childhood.

I haven't personally experienced abuse but I know it profoundly affects mental health and can definitely lead to depression and trauma. i think Both physical and sexual abuse are deeply harmful in different ways.. neither is "better" or "worse," they are both devastating.
