Plan something else with other SAFE people on your anniversary.

Write down all of your coping skills do that you can refer to them when triggered.

Please oh please do not go and have sex as a way to cope. Really, you could make things a million times worse. You’re only at the beginning of healing, and nowhere near needing to engage in these kinds of activities out of desperation to heal.

Welcome! :hug:

That can get dangerous. You might be re-injured easily, as these people may not have your best interests in mind, and they aren't even sex therapists (who, by the way, wouldn't have sex with you, and for good reason -- it could be dangerous).

It's also not inpossible that another assault could occur with such a sudden decision. Or, it would be interpreted that way by your brain.

It would certainly not help you get better. Instead, it would likely cause you to become frustrated and feel worse -- at best.

Take care of yourself

I´m glad you reached out and glad to see the concerned answers.
I think the others are right; you´re still young and you can get your mind out of the mess, but not by re-living it with unsafe people who have dishonest intentions.

Be safe and don´t let guys tell you what´s good for you - specially when they don´t have your best interest at heart.

Thank you so much for your concern. It is nice to know that there are good people here. Thank you.

Eventually getting used to it would very likely be getting used to being re-traumatized.

I'm certainly no expert here, but I think that finding the right person, a best friend, someone you love and loves you back, and who understands and will support you will get you a lot more of what you need. The rest will follow from that.
