I am trying to hold the people who abused me accountable because they continue to abuse small children to this day and it has to stop. I have reached out to other families who have left that mess but are still being effected. They have agreed to help but are still reeling from everything they...

I am 21. I turn 22 the 26th. I am in therapy and I have been diagnosed with PTSD, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression and possibly bipolar.

I admitted today that I am not ready to move on from my trauma because I was not given proper time to process it. So I called my friends and explained this to them and asked them to just be present with me as I do this. I am pretty proud of this because I have been trying to go at everyone...

I probably should have been more clear. I was severely emotionally abused and sexually assaulted and sexually bullied on multiple occasions. That is how I got PTSD. We lack good boundaries in my house so it is very hard to separate my stuff from theirs. I will have a talk with them about it...

I was pushed up against a wall and forced to make out with a guy. A girl stuck her hands down my pants and God knows what else! A guy touched me inappropriately after I repeatedly told him "no." Plus a ton of other sexual bullying. I was never raped though so I don't feel like any of this is...
