Hello, I’m very new here..but I’ve read through a lot of users’ experiences and it’s made me feel much less alone. I’m currently 21 y.o..but have dealt with sexual abuse from around age 8-9 and rape at 12. Other “smaller” sexual incidents occurred from 12-18..much of it is blocked from my mind, but it’s like my body refuses to forget what I went through. I really don’t remember much of my childhood/teen years, other than needing to grow up so soon. No one knows about this, besides well..whoever is reading this now.
There’s been this disconnect between my brain and my body for so long. I crave security, intimacy, and genuine love but I shut down at the thought of it.
I’m hoping that by joining this community I can begin to piece together what I can do to recover & understand myself better. But really..just knowing that I’m not the only one who’s gone through stuff, is such a relief. I have no one to confide in currently, so I’ll share my story in hopes that it’ll help someone too. Thank you for having me. You are all such beautiful souls. Much love. X
