Hi there! I'm new to this group it is the first time I've ever reached out to other survivors. It happened a handful of times between the time I was 16 and 18. I'm now 23 and have a loving husband but I had never had a real mechanism for addressing what happened. I have been struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, eating disorders and substance abuse since then. I want to find peace and move on but I have to find a way to work through it first. I'm looking forward to joining the community and the participating in this network of support. Thanks very much for reading!
