When did u realize that u needed to start going to therapy?

Little back story. I was sexualy abused since I was a kid up into my late teens (19.)And since I moved away I’ve had so many breakdowns. I’m on anti depressants atm for my ppd so I don’t really think about it to much anymore and when I do I don’t really get sad cause of the meds.

But when did u realize u needed to go to therapy if u were raped or sexually abused or anything of the sort?

Cause I told my doctor and she asked if I ever went to therapy and I said no. I’m going to be 21 next month so the abuse ended over a year ago. And I’m married now and have a baby.
