Moving forward (sexual abuse )

Moving forward (sexual abuse )

Hi fellow Sane people
Im really struggling with the disclosure of my sexual abuse and how to move forward.
Yes im safe and all the right steps have been taken etc but im still struggling to move forward
Im wondering what people have done snd strategies you've used in order to get through it?

Does it get easier over time?

Im very embarrassed and ashamed and scared by it and struggling so any help would be great.
It would be great to know if there are any other survivors on here and how you are now and how it affect the way you live

Hi @Former-Member

I'm not feeling so fab myself tonight but I wanted to say that I am sorry things are hard for you at the moment and that you're going through some tough things.

If things get really hard tonight, do you know where to get support if you need it? (I am almost certain you have the numbers for crisis support lines but wanted to double check)

Take care

I'm up and I know there are people around if you want to talk @Former-Member. Is there anything you think might help you at the moment?
