When I was 11, I was s******* abused multiple times by someone close to me, and again at age 13 by a close friend.
Never coming fully out with my story to anyone, I believe this led me to develop post-traumatic stress disorder and led me to abuse drugs and alcohol to this day.
I also fabricated an imaginary friend into existence who persuaded me to harm myself, all to cope with the loss of my innocence.
I’m still working on getting better now. it’s been 8 years.
