I'm A Little Nervous, But Hello.

[uglyduckling]

Hello, my name is Autumn and I'm currently eighteen years old.

I stumbled upon this site while looking for rape support groups.

I am a rape survivor.

The friends I thought I would always have abandoned me.

My boyfriend broke up with me because he couldn't deal with me.

He told me I keep using my rape as an excuse and that because he warned me, he could feel little sympathy.

My parents got me a hamster to help me heal, and it did help, but then the hamster died.

All I need is support and to feel that I'm not alone.

For two months, I've been alone.

I've been pushing myself to be strong, but I keep breaking. And I don't know what to do anymore.
