Hugs, if ok?
 

I had classes with the person who assaulted me. It was horrible. I know how you are feeling. It was 15 yrs ago and I still remember how out of touch and angry and sick I felt. *safe hugs*

I am here for you if you ever need to talk through it or just have someone sit with you and know you aren’t alone.

yes please. i accept safe hugs. Sometimes it really feels like it but i know im not alone. i wouldnt mind if you sat with me. thank you so much

I’ve read through your entries. Wow. You are so so strong. I find myself relating to your situation quite a lot. I only got sexually assaulted a few weeks ago. It’s been hard. Some people have told me that growth isn’t linear. They’re right. You will have tough days and you’ll have days where it’s almost normal again. I know it’s hard but try to at least take a shower. Or if you can, a bath. You don’t even have to wash your hair. Just letting water run over your body even for a few minutes will help. You are right. You are strong, you cannot give in to self harm. Try to pick up some other habits that benefit you. Or, watch a comfort show to get your mind off things. I recommend the good place. It helps me a lot and doesn’t trigger me in the slightest. Of course, you may be different but find something like this that helps take your mind off things. It might not seem like it, but your friends care. They might not truly understand what you’re going through if they haven’t personally experienced it. I know I was the same beforehand. If they start talking about men around you and that triggers you, just leave. They can’t get upset at you and if they do, they’re not your friends. Friends don’t do that. Find someone to talk to about this. If you need to rant freely, you’re always open to message me.  ❤️

Thank you so much. I also was assaulted a few weeks ago. three weeks ago as of tomorrow actually. i am also here if you want to message me. i finally showered today. its been rough again. youre right. there are days where it feels like im normal again. but then there are really really bad days where i cant seem to leave my bed. luckily i have a roommate who really cares and helps me. I hope you have someone like that for you. feel free to message me anytime. I would be honored to be apart of your support system.

I am new here and read your posts. I am so sorry that this happened to you. My heart breaks for another wounded heart. That took a lot of courage to get that paperwork going. That is awesome!

I found that if  I can find a safe space; a place or person that allows me to let my guard down, then I can start to process and make some sense of my next best action. Sometimes that action is nothing more than taking a nap or doing something that makes me feel good. 

I am rooting for you and may you have peace today. Thank you for sharing. I learn so much from other people. Have a wonderful day.

 

Thank you. I am sorry to have found you here but I am rooting for you as well.
