[Hello]

Aurgh... I’m so so so sorry. No, you don’t have a target but I wish the people who broke your trust did. I’m still in revenge mode so... 

1 in 4 and where I live there are no support groups. So no one to speak to except here. Friends don’t really understand. I think they get tired too... of sitting through the difficult parts. Understandably. 

How you managing anger? 

[Hello]

@AngelasAshes yes. That’s the thing I’m struggling with. I also have to resist the urge to yell at women telling them not to trust the men they are with. Or if it is truly 1 in 5, I keep looking at women I know and thinking “how are you coping???”. How do people do this? The life part? The back to work and socializing and everyday-ness? Someone taught me “box breathing” recently. It kinda helps when it’s bad. Here to talk to if you need.

Hello, new here. I've been reading posts as a guest for about a week. Glad I found this place, it's been very disheartening to find how long it takes to get help after trauma. I'm on two therapists wait lists currently.

As a survivor previously, and the mother of a SA survivor - I never thought I'd be back in this place again in my life. I'm always so careful and guarded. I know ultimately the blame belongs to the criminal/monster but it's still fresh and I haven't moved past the "what ifs" yet. Thank you for the safe space to feel this and work through it. 💗

@AngelasAshes Auuurghhhh... I’m sorry you’re here. But welcome. I feel everything you feel. It’s truly awful, and after the whole journey before.

You are supported, believed, heard, safe. 

Here for conversations.
