Hi

[EchoFx]

Hey, I'm Allyx, I'm 17, and I was raped at 12. It's been really, really difficult for me to open up about it AT ALL, but it's gotten to the point where this thing is basically invading almost all aspects of my life. So I figure I should do something about it.

Not sure if I'm gonna post again, but hey, at least I took a step, right?

EDIT: Oh, and I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cancer) in October. I'm almost done with treatment, but I have an inkling that the stress of the diagnosis may have something to do with my recent inability to deal with this crap.
