Did you tell someone? Like after it happened.

Question

I couldn’t bring myself to tell the police, and it took over a year for me to trust my friend (who had been assault shortly after me). I wish I would’ve told someone sometimes I don’t think it was healthy for me to go through it alone, everything scares me. Like I can’t even comprehend somethings. Sometimes my mind completely spaces and I can focus on anything because something reminds me of that night.
