will it ever go away?

Question

I was bullied most of my childhood severely i at one point would cut myself and I didn't like the feeling so food became my best friend. Even now food is what I turn to. A year ago I was sexually assaulted in my own car by a guy that I trusted then later on by two other guys. I just feel like everything is going wrong since it happened. I'm honestly scared to meet new people and I'm scared to date. I wish I could be normal and be happy. Like I don't feel needed I don't feel like I have a purpose. In this past week I failed 2 classes. I'm so scared to tell my family because I will definitely be known as the disappointment again. I just want to be okay again . Will I ever be okay ?

Answer

I'm so sorry hun. Things do get better. I was assaulted in freshman year and even now (+2 years out) I still have a hard time dealing. I'm not going to sugar coat anything because I know that doesn't help. It sucks. Having that happen to you is one of the worst things that can happen in my opinion. But it'll get better. You'll never forget it. There will always be that terrible, awful memory. But you'll get better at pushing it out of your mind and not letting it control you. That's way easier said than done though. You have to want to get better. Even when things are hard and nothing seems like it's worth it, try to think about all the things in life that you haven't done yet. That's what motivates me to keep going. Think about how you've always wanted to drive a car at top speed or how you want to go see that one band life or whatever the hell it is that you want to do and haven't yet. Think about that and keep pushing for that. If you ever need someone to talk to, you can always message me. Keep fighting 💛

Answer

You will be fine. Everybody has struggles in life. Sadly most women have been victims of sexual assault or rape and so there is a lot of PTSD and secret worry that goes unspoken but it's there and people work through it in their own ways over time💗. Depression is also suuuuuuper common. You just have to figure out what works for you. Therapy, medication, herbal medicine, exercise, art, music, staying busy, poetry, riding a bike... a ton of different things that work for different people when they feel their depression flare up. There are definitely healthy ways to deal with depression and ptsd, it is not easy!!! But it's possible, love. It just takes some time to figure out what works. You aren't an outsider, your experience is actually very common. Life is hard!! We are all in this together 💗💗💗

Answer

Yes, things will get better just stay positive. Do something that will build you confidence, learn how to defend yourself or carry something to protect yourself. & you can always message me if you want.  I used to be a cutter in high school until they put me in counseling. I still go through waves of depression so I know how hard it is and how alone it can make you feel. I dont want anyone to feel alone.

Answer

You will be okay. Life has so many curveballs and just know you are always strong enough to get through. I would suggest seeing a counsellor and talking through these things to start your way forward on a new path and leave your old one behind. Good luck!
