Survivor story
healing is slow. I hope I feel ok someday.
Original story
Message to a Survivor
Don’t give up. Healing is slow but I know that it’s gonna be worth it some day. for you and me.
Message of Healing
I don’t know yet, I still am, in little way I heal, but being fully at peace is gonna take awhile.
I was only 15. I convince myself it was my fault for not speaking up or saying no more clearly. For just freezing up and letting it happen. I wish I didn’t feel this pain. The flashbacks and feeling the crawl under my skin. I cant enjoy the beach anymore. I get scared if someone tries to grab or hold my wrist. The certain way water touches my skin makes me sick and relive. I cant wear certain clothes anymore. All I want is to heal. To come to some sort of peace with this. I’ve only just started to speak out about my rape after 2 years and I’m glad I have, but it’s still so overwhelming.
