(I just found out that you can't click or copy the link so the song is take me home by Jess glynne)

I came across this song about two months after my sexual assult last year. I had also just met my boyfriend around this time aswell. He quickly learned about my ptsd and other mental illnesses due to my intense flashbacks and sometimes being triggered so bad that I would enter a dissociated episode.

I felt as if I was totally destroyed and broken. Even with him there supporting me through thos things and seeing a councilor, things were still hard. I felt alone, guilty, responsible, stained, lost and unworthy of any form of love. On one particularly hard night I came across this beautiful song. I cried for at least ten minutes afterwards. It was something that was saying everything that was going on in my mind and how I was feeling.

It made me realize just how much my mother and my boyfriend were/are there for me. Expecially my boyfriend. And how when I was at my upmost frail and distressed, he would hold me while I wept, screamed and in times when i lost all sense of reality during dissociateve episodes. Try were and are my anchors as I deal and overcome what has happened and what I will have to deal with for the rest of my life.

I hope that those who need to hear this song would. you don't have to be a sexual assult survivor or someone dealing with other mental illnesses to be touched by it.
