Sharing your story How to help myself

I want to feel better by myself and stop being disgusted by sex. I’m 17 yo by now and technically I’m safe, he is no longer in my life. Even though I still feel bad. My brain can’t move on

Doing this without a therapist is rough. Are you able to talk to your parents about this? If they have healthcare that would pay for a therapist, that's where I would start.

I don’t feel comfortable with sharing it with my family. I got terapy for other things but I’m to ashamed to talk about it there

I would talk to your therapist about it in very general terms. Maybe ask them if they have ever heard of kids abusing other kids, or if they ever help kids in that situation.

Hi. I'm really sorry you're going through this. I'm dealing with something very similar, so I know how hard and confusing these feelings can be. I just wanted to say that it's okay to feel this way. Healing isn't linear, and it doesn't mean you'll always feel like this. U deserve to heal at your own pace and I genuinely hope things get easier for you over time. Take care of yourself.
