Thank you so much, Mary. I discovered AS sometime this past year so my first account was still relatively new. I think it probably only had one or two posts on it. Back when I was only dealing with assault, I found it very hard to talk about what happened to me because imposter syndrome constantly tried to convince me I was faking it or that it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Now that it's escalated to me dealing with r***, I'm realizing how important it is to surround myself with people that understand and won't judge me, regardless of the extremity of my tragedies.
