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

Question

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.

Answer

I was molested for most of my life till I went to bootcamp I didnt think I needed therapy i just avoided it but when i got pregnant i started having flashbacks and anxiety attacks at work and was forced by my command into therapy.

Answer

I had a miscarriage and the examining doctor triggered my ptsd, I started having flashbacks,  hallucinating,  having nightmares etc. I broke down in front of my OB and she told me her assault story and how therapy had helped her.  I took her referral and went.  It's the best choice I ever made for myself. I highly suggest therapy for all survivors.

Answer

Take it from me: please go to therapy to help you cope with this. I wish I could have gone. I was sexually assaulted by a classmate when I was in high school and because I lived in the good ol’ Bible Belt, I was told it was my fault for “giving” my assaulter the urge to want to have sex with me. Instead of talking about it and dealing with it, I ate my feelings and gained almost 50lbs. in a few short months and cut my hair and I dressed differently to like “ugly” so guys wouldn’t want to be around me. Eventually I came to terms with the assault, but it still haunts me in some ways. Please seek help. I didn’t and it nearly drove me insane.
