Hello

[jjfields]

Hi I'm 18 and I'm a survivor. I was raped for the first time when I was 7. The sexual abuse continued until I was 11 and started my period. It happened in LA and I moved to the Bay Area after it stopped. But, now I'm back in LA for school and I'm really struggling with dealing with everything. Its hard to focus and I never sleep and my grades are starting to suffer because of it. I found this sight and, from looking at other posts, I feel like I'll be able to get some help.
