Sexual assault and mental illness

Wow, you're still reading? x

I wish a lot of people got to know the 12 year old me. Now all you'll see is an anxious mess trying to keep it together. I'm trying to live my life the best I can and I'm proud of how far I've come. I'm glad I'm still alive experiencing life. Something I've never opened up about was how suicidal I was in the last 7 years. I didn't think I would make it past 15, but I'm still here bitches 😎🤙🏽

I was always afraid to share my story as I thought it would define me, and that people would treat me differently or have sympathy or something along those lines. I hope all you see is a badass individual making it through life one day at a time.

Fast forward 7 years from the first incident, i still deal with severe anxiety. I have anxiety attacks very often, I wake up in the middle of the night grasping for air and hyperventilating and not being able to move. I was also highly dependent on some hardcore anxiety pills which impacted and harmed my body in more ways than one.

If anyone out there is dealing with being sexually assaulted, or any kind of mental illness, I'm always here to help in any way I possibly can. You are not alone x

If you made it this far, you're a cutie 😘
