      Thank you all for your support - for the hugs and for sitting with me. You have no idea how reading/seeing your responses makes me feel right now, after such a rough day. ❤️❤️❤️

      @Enigma87, your welcome friend, I hope stuff gets easier for you.

  3. Life is really hard lately. I just feel so alone. On the outside, I appear calm to everyone. On the inside, I am screaming. I keep numbing the pain so I don't feel so lonely or stuck. Sometimes ending it all seems like an easier option. I promised my T today that I would keep trying though. It just feels like too much sometimes.

  5. I just had a rough therapy session today. 😢 My traumaversary is coming up this Saturday. I'm feeling a lot of anger, sadness, and shame. I'm not sure how to handle it all.

      Sending you so much support and kindness, @Enigma87.  I know how painful that shame is and I also feel 100% certain that it was not your fault.  You did not deserve what happened and you do not deserve blame for it.  Safe virtual hugs to you, friend. ❤️

  9. Struggling right now... My sister’s friend was SA’ed on her way home tonight. I’m trying to help, but I’m triggered and feel helpless. :cry: Not going to sleep well tonight.

      @Iheartcupcakes @Poppy_ Thank you both so much for your support. ❤️:hug:She filed a police report last night. It was her Uber driver that attacked her. So I take it the police are tracing things back to him. Idk... In any case, I will encourage her to come on AS. 💕

      @Free2Fly Yea, I know this isn't the first time she's been SA'ed like many of us. However, she is understandably shaken up. I am still emotional about it not just for me and my experience, but because I know how it feels to be SA'ed when under the influence by someone you just met. It's so heartbreaking. 💔

      Yeah Idk how to keep faith in this world of ours :(

      Hope they are okay and you are too.

  10. Tension at home again. It never ends. I’m so tired of pretending everything is okay. Gotta move out. 😓

    @aprilbaby49 Gosh, I am so moved by this... It’s inspiring to read. I admire the self-respect you have and the determination to put the blame where it belongs - solely on him. I support you wholeheartedly. Sending you much care and support. 💕

      @waterlily13 Aw thank you ❤️ I’m trying... I appreciate the support friend.

  14. @wolfennights Hmm, I’ll have to check this out! Thanks for the recommendation! & don’t feel embarrassed... I think many of us watch shows like that. I know I do... especially when I am super anxious and depressed or cannot quiet my thoughts related to trauma. My dad got angry with me tonight and it triggered some trauma from my past. So now I’m in my room watching SpongeBob, drinking milk, and eating candy, with my stuffed “build-a-bear” polar bear from my preteen years. Lol - so don’t feel bad 😉😊

    I hate the Night

    Oh wow @13rose... this is so powerful, and relatable. I am so sorry the night haunts you in this way. I feel similarly about the night and my traumas. The part you mentioned about being sucked into a time loop feels so true when I’m in bed at night. I’m not sure what to say really. I just want you to know I admire your strength as a survivor, in what you have been through, and being able to communicate and express your feelings in this way. Although sad, you wrote this so beautifully and powerfully. Thank your for sharing. I am sending you kindness and support, as well as sitting with you if y
