Hi

[Kristen nicole]

I feel so numb even though it’s been almost 3 years. I hate reliving it all and the nightmares and flashbacks still won’t go away. I don’t like opening up to people because I don’t know who I can trust anymore. I want to be happy again and just have it all go away....

Hi Kristen nicole,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for what happened to you 3 years ago, and the struggles you are still facing. It is not right, nor fair! I understanding opening up is very difficult, but it is amazingly brave to reach out here. When and what you decide to share will not be judged and you and your experience is validated. Take your time and look around. When you are ready, we are waiting with tons of support. I wish you the best on this journey of healing.

Mary
