I still have a lot of bad days but it takes a lot of working with my trauma therapist and focusing on things that I enjoy to keep me busy. 😥💕

You’re not alone at all babe. I would highly suggest talking to someone though. I know it’s so extremely hard though also. I recommend psychotherapy as a tool to help. Having support,medication and a psychiatrist have really helped me so much. 💕

It’s true that you’re not alone. I was molested as a child about 3 times and one of the times was by my own father. I’m not traumatized by it but it has effected me in bad ways and for me it’s the opposite I tend to engage more on sexual activity and have a high libido.

❤️ Oh, friend, you are NOT the only one at all. Please know you're not alone, that others have been where you are, and that you matter. Speaking from my own personal experience, I would not have been able to start working through my sexual assaults without my trustworthy therapist, medication support for depression and anxiety, and sessions of EMDR. There IS help available.

You're so not alone. Psychotherapy and hormone replacement therapy has really helped me! Do you have any unbiased professionals you can talk with?

You're not alone hon but it will be okay. Are you in therapy or anything to help with the PTSD?
