Yikes! That's deep... I'm very proud of you for addressing all this and so soon after. I don't want to trigger your flashbacks or anything so I'll try to say this delicately. I was assaulted the same way by 4 different guys over a 6 year period. From 12 to 18 years old. I didn't know how to deal with it. I was diagnosed with bipolar during my teens, probably started because of the abuse. I still struggle with mania and depression but years of therapy finally got me past the trauma. What did it for me was one therapist I saw had me write a letter to each of the abusers. Not to give them, but just what I would like to say to them if I could. And writing those letters was so therapeutic. I've forgiven them all and moved on. I have no problems talking about my experiences anymore. In fact, sharing them has led to other people confiding in me about the assaults they've been through. To me, that's a huge honor. The fact that they trust me enough to share such sensitive info and several times, I was the first person they told. That said, it took a lot of courage to share your story with the world, the internet. You are far more courageous at your age than I was at that age. I'm so happy you're taking therapy seriously and focusing on your mental health. I wish I had. I do now, but back then I ran from my emotions, using alcohol and marijuana, and tried a few other drugs too. But I only liked the marijuana so that was the main one, besides alcohol. Anyway, I've been clean and sober for years now. I could share much more but I don't think it's necessary. The point is that I understand the trauma of being assaulted in that way from experience, I've done the cutting and I've been through all the thoughts and emotions. I've attempted to end my life a few times too. Once I think I succeeded temporarily but I don't know for sure because no one back then would tell me. I don't even remember the event itself, only waking up in the hospital after. Stay strong. You're already way ahead of many people. Remember during those darker times that you are not alone, you are loved, your life is worth living, and even if you don't know what it is yet, your life does have a purpose. Thank you for being so brave and vulnerable! I hope, and in fact I believe that this video will be seen by someone dealing with similar trauma who needs to know they're not alone. They may not comment. You may help someone without ever knowing it, but that's ok. I definitely believe making this video was not a mistake at all. Well done! 🙂🙂🙂
When I first read this, I started to cry. This means so much for you to trust with the story and I hope you know how strong you are, you didn’t deserve anything you had to go through in your life. I really appreciate your wishes and once again - your trust. If you ever need anyone to talk with, I’m always here and ready for a conversation. I’m proud of you and I’m sure that we can make it together!
I hope you are happy all your days❤
Thank you so much, hope you have it too🖤
