Hi.... My name is Star and its my first post and I suffer from PTSD
I mean it all started about 4 years ago I was 12 almost 13 a roommates boyfriend raped me and I didn't tell anyone for a long time. Soon I became very depressed and I began to harm myself by cutting I even made a few suicide attempts. My mom finally found out about it and she did what she could to be there for me. Then two months ago I was in the same room where it happened with a friend. I was tired and my friend began to touch me. I became disassociated from myself, reliving the first incident while going through a second. My flashbacks and anxiety got worse my life became hell. I was constantly miserable wishing I could escape the pain I do not understand why he would do something to me like that. Made no sense to me. Now today while I was writing someone special to me a letter, I kinda got my mind back.
I'm the kind of girl that won't go down without a fight, and I'm not going to let him win, IMA beat him! I can only hope that he goes to jail as the piece of meat he treated me as. Or ends up living in a cardboard box on and empty street. I won't admit defeat, my friend showed me he never took the power from me. He has nothing over me. He played his cards, gonna get caught by guards, be the one cleaning up the yards. If he was ever worth any thing he proved it otherwise to me, he blew his disguise, and showed his real colors. I'm done being scared I'm not gonna hide.
If I see him near I'll make it clear who's boss here and who's the one with no pride no say because he takes part of people away but even they don't stay instead they get away, brake free from his safe go back to the rightful place he'll see it when he looks at my face he stole something for me, but gave away his dignity pride honor just to take to the corner like a kid done wrong, knows what he did was wrong. Thinks an "I'm sorry" will make it all better, its sad that's what he thinks, who was his example setter. I may not be better but I'm getting their. I can get through it. I can't let him haunt me. I'm trying to be me again.
 
i'm sorry that you have been through this, it must have been dreadful. It is very brave of you to share this. Its so positive to hear you wont give up! That is good news. You sound like a really strong person! I'm glad your friend showed you, he never took your power.
 
I dont feel very strong, often i feel very weak. i know i cant give up but i still want to. im trying so hard to make it through. its hard to clear my head. is so hard to get out of bed. Nobody can start a new beginning, but everyone can start a new day and make a new ending.
 
Hi Star and welcome to the forum.

I don't really understand what you mean by a roommate. Ate age 12 were you not living at home? Perhaps you were in a boarding school and had to share? I am just trying to get a picture of how come this came to happen to you.

Anyhow I am glad that your Mum was/is supportive. That is a good start. You certainly sound like you have the right attitude.

everyone can start a new day and make a new ending.
Love it!
 
Hi Star and welcome to the forum.

I live in the same house now at home with my mom, we rent rooms to people having tough times. even since that happened we continued to rent rooms, our house gets lonely, we like so share, and try to help others because we care. what happened wasn't anyone's fault but his, he deliberately came up to my room.
 
Welcome to the forum Star. :)
Thank you i really appreciate it, posting wasn't easy to do, it helped me feel a little better, and i hope it gave others inspiration to keep trying, even if like me, and inside feeling like your dying.

Wow! That must be so hard. I can imagine that it must be very difficult to feel safe, still living in the same house where it happened. I appreciate that the guy is responsible for his own behaviour.

"If I see him near
I'll make it clear
who's boss here
and who's the one with no pride no say
because he takes part of people away
but even they don't stay
instead they get away,
brake free from his safe
go back to the rightful place
he'll see it when he looks at my face he stole something for me,
but gave away his dignity
pride honor
just to take to the corner
like a kid done wrong,
knows what he did was wrong.
Thinks an "I'm sorry" will make it all better,
its sad that's what he thinks, who was his example setter.
I may not be better
but I'm getting their.
I can get through it.
I can't let him haunt me.
I'm trying to be me again."


@Star Leann Forgive me for doing this. I had not appreciated the poetry in your post when I read it first time.
This is magic!
 
Right now its to the point where I need to take a break, going out of state and hope I'll finally be able to breath
