  1. I'm proud you used the hotlines. Never be ashamed to reach out. It takes so much courage to deal with these issues/emotions...ignoring them only makes it harder on yourself.

    You're not a failure. You are human, and humans can be hurt. It takes strength to heal, learn to cope/live with/accept that the past happened. Then to grow from that place, it is freeing, liberating. You are amazing, and I'm glad you're here. On this forum, in the universe. Reach out when you're hurting!!

    Keep moving forward!

  2. Welcome! I also was very anxious, nervous, and apprehensive about posting. I was worried that my story wasn't the "right kind of story"....

    I was wrong! I was welcomed with open arms and words of support.

    It's always a shock when you move forward with your life, you think you've "gotten over something", and then BAM, suddenly it's back in the forefront of your mind/heart.

    Stay strong - know you can always find someone to talk to/listen to you here.

    I see you, I support you.

  3. Deval,

    I just started my account here, and am also very tentative about sharing. I feel as if my story isn't "real". That it wasn't an assault at all, it was just a young, impressional girl, and a horny boy being a horny boy.

    I'm hoping that talking about it more will help me work through this.

  4. Hello.

    I am unsure how to work this website... so I am posting here as a first attempt.

    My personal struggle is coming to admit/accept/whatever that what happened was sexual assault.

    I don't want to take over OP's post... but I'm not sure where else I can share/post...

    The guilt and shame that comes with surviving a sexual assault are what I am dealing with right now..
