None of the adults in my life have taken me seriously when I told them about being SA’d regulargy by a “friend” from ages 11-16 since I wasn’t actually r*ped, and it makes me feel like a complete failure and like my experience isn’t valid and I’m not allowed to feel bad about it. It traumatized me deeply and I developed some extreme sensory issues due to it on top of already having severe depression and anxiety. I’m 20 soon but I’m still nowhere near over what has happened to me. I can’t seem to begin my healing because I’m still not sure if my experience is even valid. I feel hopeless.
