Support groups/meet ups

cami

Is anybody on here part of a support group or meet up for victims of sexual assault? I’ve been wanting to join one for years just because even though therapy is helpful, it’s really hard for me to open up about anything but my anxiety with her even though I know that’s what she’s there for. I just feel alone and feel like I need to be in an empowering environment with other people and not just like talk and cry, but actually advocate and do stuff actively. I tend to just use other things going on as an excuse that I’m okay or that I have other things to worry about, but as soon as it’s a topic of discussion I lose it and I just feel like I’ve sunk into a black hole. Like, idk I just feel stupid because mine could’ve been a lot worse, so I hate talking about it, but they were still traumatic. With all of this Brett Kavanaugh stuff going on and people coming forward and speaking out, it’s been rough for me. I didn’t let myself look at any of the articles or news until like two days ago and it just made me so depressed and angry and I just want to talk to people who actually relate. My only concern is that I’ve never joined a support group, so I’m scared that it’s going to be too overwhelming for me. If anyone has or has had any experience with anything like that, I would love some advice or feedback or info of any kind! Thanks💕💕
