HELLO. MY NAME IS TIFFANI, AND I AM A RAPE SURVIVOR.

I am 16 years old and struggle with anxiety, depression, ocd, eating disorder, and PTSD.

Since my rape almost 4 weeks ago, my mental issues have exasperated and I have developed PTSD. I am seeking counseling with my original therapist, as well as group therapy, and I am also looking into a sexual abuse specialist to help me with my recovery progress. I filed a report to my local police, but I spoke with my detective today and decided to halt the prosecution until I am in a healthier mental state.

I recently found AS and thought it was incredibly welcoming and a beautiful environment, so I figured I would join! I'm not really sure what else to say, except thank you all in advance for your support and I cannot wait to create bonds with so many of you ;)

(I am also in the progress of creating my own person blog relating to me personal struggles, link here.) 

 

Hi Tiffani,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for what you have experienced. It is not right for anyone to hurt you in this way. You have found a very supportive site tho, with many understanding and kind members. I am glad you have reached out and wish you well on your healing journey.

Hey Tiffany! 

  im Sorry that this happened  to you. I'm happy that you call yourself a survivor and not a victim. Your story is inspirational. I hope to be as courageous as you one day. 

Wow, it means so much to be called an inspiration, so thank you! Believe me, if I can be courageous, so you can you! Sending lots of love your way if okay :):)
