I had a low moment today and called the rape crisis helpline, and the lady there told me she was really proud of me for getting myself into therapy and trying to be better.
My friend who has also been SA-ed in the past also said she thought I was really strong for dating again afterwards.
So I just want to say to whoever is reading this: You are strong.
Whatever you think is the bare minimum, even just reading this and posting here means you’ve taken back something of your life and I’m proud of you for doing that.
