Hello all,
My name's Ray, I'm 18 years old. I've had PTSD for two years following being sexually assaulted during an abusive relationship I was in.
I've only reached out for help in the last few months, as I've been away at college and have had the freedom to. Now my school's on break and I'm back at my parents' house, where the assaults took place. Since the therapist works through my university, I no longer have access to her either.
Being surrounded by locational triggers again has been rather overwhelming, especially when I don't have the support system I've gained over the last few months with me. I feel alone, back in my hometown, no one here knows what happened or that I have PTSD, and I thought I'd join an online group.
Anyone have any advice for me? I'm new to this whole healing thing.
Much love
