    @@you-qm2vehi, sorry for your experience ☹️ I’m trying to help my brother. But he won’t hardly reach acknowledge first. But as my new boss’s family goes through family upheaval- I see what could have been my brothers life- except I know he’s been protected by the hand of God. He doesn’t see it this way. My brother had also given his life to God. Of course he feels betrayed by God instead but he has me to keep reminding him. I’ve had my own battle with God- begging him to save my siblings- and not seeing the improvements I hoped for- and to be able to be with him again. A real family. So I want to extend God’s hope to you 🥹🤍🙏🏼

    @@Rollwithit699 Hiii, I am a survivor too. I was sexually harrassed, not raped. It happened 7 years ago. I am exhausted too. It's difficult. I fear men, can no longer make friends, parents are least bothered about it. I developed an autoimmune condition post the trauma. To avoid stress, I stopped crying and now I forgot how to cry. I was a high scoring student once, now I am tired. I have no ambitions, no motivation. I don't even know why am I alive. I just wanna come out and tell the people around me the secret. I wanna be free. He is enjoying his life and I am barely surviving,yet I choose to forgive him, not for his sake, but for my peace of mind. I was suicidal, but now I choose to live, though I no longer have the reason to live. I watch funny movies, reels, I laugh. I cannot talk to anybody cuz I am scared of humans. But now I am no longer scared of the social rules as I was before cuz I have already violated them by being harrased. So, I dress for myself, doll myself up, don't give a fuck to anybody anymore. I also listen to comforting asmr for sexual harrasment survivors,I listen to self love affirmations daily. Some day, when I make money, I'll go to a therapist too. From being suicidal to surviving for no reason, I have made a progress, you can do it too🤜🤛. I am rooting for you. My depression reminds me every day that I am gonna die, so I laugh every day for no reason cuz why not. I have failing memory, lack of concentration, muscle cramps, constipation, anxiety, hair fall- my disease taught me whilst I am healthy, I will smile. I am very kind, polite and forgiving to myself cuz I am the only one who stood with me when I needed the most. It is said that our body replaces all the cells in 7 years. So, this October 16, I am gonna celebrate the birth of my body that was absolutely untouched by any man. I hope you find my story useful. My apologies if I don't sound that empathetic, I really don't feel a lot of positive emotions, but I am trying to learn them. Thankyou.

    Yeah. No, it’s not like a regular assault at all. I’ve been at the receiving end of normal physical assault and sexual assault. The sexual assault really messes with your internal compass. It’s like one of those scenes in the movie where the compasses is by a strong magnet force and just keeps spinning around in all directions. Being sexually assaulted makes it so you don’t want to engage in sexual contact with anyone else because maybe you’d be harming them by doing so. But then sex is supposed to be health? Right? So there’s no internal resolution. _“Sex is good … and bad … healthy … and harmful.”_

    the craziest part about my trauma on that specific night is that.. i drank a lot because i knew i'd have to be drunk to be touched by this dude. it was consensual for the first part. but then i blacked out and all i remember was me getting up to my front door to verify if it was locked. then i woke up, realising that i dreamt of checking my door. so i went to check it. then i woke up again, realising that i dreamt both times that i was cheking my door. got up the third time for real, cant remember if the door was locked or unlocked. cant remember if he touched me while i was blackout drunk. cant remember the face of the dude. i was coming off of meth at that time so the alcohol really made me out of my mind. everytime i think about it my entire body gets so tense and i get nervous, cant lay on my back cause thats how i was when it happened. it happened like 3 years ago, im fully sober now. this will forever haunt me. its terrible, to not know if i was raped or not, and to not remember the face of the dude. my neighbours got drunk tonight and i could hear them, and all i can think about is that night. cant sleep until they fall asleep, even tho they never did anything to me. its fucking scary. ill talk to my therapist about it, i just had the flashback and wasnt really thinking about it until now. i wish i could fight back. its 3 years too late now. i wish i could at least call him out on what he did if i ever see him again, but i have no idea what happened and i have no idea who the man looks like. no face no case i guess. (I've been victim of sexual assault 1 time before, the guy is deceased, and raped 2 times before too, by 2 different people at the same location but not at the same time, one of them is now deceased, the other one got away with it because i had to protect myself before anything else, and the 3rd or like 4th time was the one i explained in the comment, dont even know if it was a rape or if he just let me sleep there. pretty sure he did something to me or i wouldnt have this reaction) edit: i forgot, one other time too when a friend of my dad french kissed me. he knew me as a baby thats so fucking disturbing. never talking to my dad ever again. he did nothing except asking his friend for 100 bucks. ive never seen that money.

    My girlfriend recently told me she was sexually assaulted "quite a few times," and I know of at least two (maybe three) instances where she was raped. Two of them were by complete strangers, the other was her ex-athletic coach's husband. I'm now worried about what this may mean for her mental and emotional state and the future of our relationship, is she yet healed enough to be a reliable and stable partner in life and child rearing, etc. Though she seems to be doing fairly well, she's very resilient. How do I best support her?

    Encourage her to seek her own help, but never force her to do so. Don’t try to be the one who saves her (because you can’t). Only she can do the work to heal and recover herself. The best thing you can do is just be yourself, listen and be a safe space, and help in whatever way you can and are willing to do if and when she asks for it and things will all work out. I know from experience. ❤️‍🩹

    A lot of patience, understanding, reassurance. Listen to her, show her that you care and are willing however you can to help her (example is she doesn't want any touch or anything sexual for a while show her and tell her that you're okay with it and be okay with it), if you guys are doing anything more sexual be in the moment and be aware of possible triggers if you see a change with her check up on her no matter if you guys are in the middle of doing it. Be gentle, caring, provide a safe place for her always. Be aware that some triggers she won't be aware of either untill they happen or way later she'll realise it was indeed a trigger. Research about these things about her trauma yet don't push information down her throat be really aware that each persons trauma is different and it differently affected a person

    Okay so I don't really talk to anyone about this topic because there was once a time i tried opening up to someone and they just didn't care(?) or try to understand me... I was around the age of 8-10, and two of my cousins sexually assaulted me on different occasions. One was when I went at my relative's house with my family in summer vacation. I just had woken up from my sleep and saw that my cousin who was like 4 years older than me putting his hand in my panties i was so disgusted with myself at that time i still don't wanna think about it. And the second time was when another cousin of mine had come to our house during his free time like he used to visit and stay for around 5-10 days each year in his free time and i really really used to love him as a cousin cause he had a funny personality and used to make everyone in the family smile a lot. So what happened at that time was i wanted to spend more time with him as i enjoyed his company (btw he's around 10 years older than me). I was asleep beside him at the time when in the middle of the night i suddenly felt something between my legs. I froze up at that moment i realised what was happening to me, my mind stop working i was scared. So scared I didn't know what to do... Everytime i remembered these moments i thought okay nothing like that is gonna happen again I'm fine I'm okay. But sometime ago something triggered these memories again like it wasn't something major i was just sitting in my bed with my sister and niece and my brother came up to us and casually place his hand on my shoulder when he was trying to reach to pick up the baby and suddenly all these moments flashed across my mind and i froze. At that time I realised that i still haven't moved in from these traumatic experiences. I didn't do anything to deserve that, sometimes i wished i was a boy so that I wouldn't have to suffer from any of this , i try to look tough in front of everyone but at the end of the day it's just a mask that i put on to make myself look strong and happy.

    I'm asian. Very strict family. Almost 20. Here, victims are silenced. Victim blaming is culture. 30 year old man says 16 year old girl consented to sex and the whole country is in the male side. He's the good one. Why did girl choose to go with him? I was a virgin before my boyfriend. Its not like I'm not at fault. Cause i went to his room . But it wasnt . cause i wanted it. I just wanted time and closeness. He advanced , step by step. I didn't want anything. But i didn't exactly say more than one simple no till foreplays. I said no but it wasn't that big of a no . Then he tried to insert to which i said THE BIG NO. I tried to move myself away. I yelled. But he inserted anyway. I bled. I cried for an hour in his arms cause i still loved him. Then at home 24 hours later i was still crying. I felt so impure and i still do. I thought about leaving but now i feel impure. No one else would ever deserve me. Cause he took my virginity and thus he should be the one who must in any way stay with me forever. So i didn't leave. And I'm still with him. He loves me , he says. He shows he loves me in every other way. He apologises for that. But my heart breaks, shatters everyday. I can't get over it. And i also don't wanna leave. And i dont wanna think of the day he would leave. Cause i feel no other men deserve me. He must take responsibility and stay with me forever. I just am sad. But i still love him. Its been a year. I still feel impure. I think its my fault then i think it isn't. And i overthink. Hopeless. dont know what to do at all

    Hey, I'm not within your culture (I'm from the US), and I understand this is probably the norm where you are from, and you probably accept it as such. But I want you to know that you are worthy of finding love and partnership with someone who didn't do such a horrible thing to you. He can't "make it right" by being with you; he can only "make it right" by removing himself from your life and letting you live in peace without his predatory presence! When you said no, whether loud or not, that meant no! No questions about that. And you even said no loudly, at one point. You did everything you felt you should have. It's not your fault. If you just wanted to be close and cuddle, you are not the impure one here!! He took advantage of your trust and closeness. I've been SA'd, too. It's not about whether we as women say no, it should be about men respecting the no. Men who don't respect nos are the problem, not us. Also, if he assaulted you: that's not sex. Sex is consensual and agreed upon. Also, virginity is a complex subject. If you didn't view it as sex, you still are a virgin in my opinion ❤ Also, virginity is a very big part of purity culture. Purity expects women to remain chaste or even celibate until marriage. But why then can men do these things, and it's allowed? Something to think about for you. Regardless of what you think, seek resources in your country for assault and rape, and find someone you can trust to talk to that's a professional. You deserve to heal.❤❤

    I've had this bottled up for years now. At least I told a few people about it but it never feels right, even if they understand or even relate. I was tried to be touched twice by two different people around my age. I don't really feel like saying who was the first person, because they're close and I feel like I have to forgive them. The second person was kid, a prick from my elementary school. I was around 9-10 years old. I remember crying and begging one of them to leave me alone (I was wearing a swimsuit, not a showing one.) I know it's not my fault, but I can't help but feeling guilty about it and not telling anyone. Not even my own mother, who is a psychologist and could probably help me heal (I know psychologists can't help family members, but maybe she could help me find someone to talk to, but I just can't find the words to tell her). I thought I'd just brush it off and forget about it with time. But when I turned 12 the memories came back and I started feeling uncomfortable with my own body. I started hating the fact of being born female, of having long hair, and wearing girlish stuff. I wished I was born a boy, and this caused me very harmful gender dysphoria. Through the years I've been cutting my hair shorter and trying to wear more oversized or "boyish" clothing, and even asked my mom to get me a binder, to which she agreed but it didn't fit me. Then the feeling of guilt came along again, I didn't want my family to be disappointed of me for being trans or something like that. Specially my father, cuz, what would he think of his precious little princess wanting to be a prince? I know he would support me anyways, and I know he'll understand everything because I'm his child. That's why I think both of my parents are awesome, and yet I feel awful and guilty again for not trusting them, my own family. I feel like I'm supposed to tell them everything like I promised to, but it's hard when you don't feel ready, or feel uncomfortable, and weird, or just straight up don't know how to bring it up. I'm older now and things haven't changed. I've been getting panic attacks lately, though I'm not sure if to call them that or I'm just seeking attention, which I'm not. That's the least I want. I've even had suicidal thoughts, but that was a long time ago. I don't wanna feel pressured into it, but if something doesn't give me a little push I might as well just keep it to myself forever and never bring it up again while dealing with the trauma. I've tried to be more feminine, but I fall again into hating my body every once in a while. I hate receiving comments about my breasts, or my hips, or my bottom, or my waist, but I'm too scared of saying no. I'm afraid they'll say I'm exaggerating or start to ridicule and minimize my feelings and emotions. I sometimes feel like I'm lying or exaggerating, because I barely got touched. I wasn't raped, and I'm glad I wasn't. I can't get through my head that what I went through is SA as well. I recognize everything they did to me is not right, and yet I still choose to not talk about it. Not because I want to have people go "Oh, poor thing, boo-hoo" or make things harder for myself, no, it's because I'm afraid. This shouldn't have happened. I would've healed earlier if I just told someone. I wouldn't be crying while typing this. This wasn't supposed to happen. I was only a child.

    Funny, before these things never effected me so much, but as I got older, the memories and images have made me realize how empty I have become. From SA to physical abuse from women and men, I used to think I was normal, then I realized I am not. I also realize there is a reason now, that reason is not my own, but I am not alone in this hurt, though I would never want this on anyone else. Yet I want to lash out, but I know if I do it will only hurt others, so I just suffer in silence. But silence is not doing me so well these days. I am at a lost for words or actions these days. It feels like being hopeless and walled in with no exit. Like, what is the point. F*** people.

    you didn’t consent to the trauma, maybe you thought you were ok with something but you ended up not being ok with it, that is how your mind and body reacted, the aftermath, do not deny how bad something makes you feel just because you thought you would be okay with it, and don’t blame yourself, trying to heal from if should be similar, maybe with more emphasis on not blaming yourself :)

Should I leave this alone? Her husband was killed in front of her and her 11 year daughter was also raped multiple times then killed in front of her. She is now living in western Ukraine and has developed breast cancer.

    God, that sounds so devastating. I’m sorry your friend went through all of that. Definitely extend your sympathy and support. Tell her that you will be there for her when she’s ready to talk about it or when it’s bothering her. Don’t put pressure on her to speak, it takes time to open up. Sometimes a long time. Maybe suggest to her that talking to a counselor would be helpful. Aside from all that, there isn’t a ton you can do. But offering a listening ear is already a huge help. Take care of yourself as well! It’s hard to see a friend go through this.

This only happend 2 days ago and i want to keep crying, im sick to the stomach and all i did when it happend was cry, now i have anxiety when in crowded place or in buses. On the way home to my home country from Italy I had to go on a bus and could not stop shaking thinking it might happen again, what was meant to be the best trip of my life turned into the worst and has left me weak.
