โIt happened. It wasn't your fault. It's going to be hard for a while. You'll jump at noises and check the locks obsessively. That's normal. But it won't always be this loud in your head. Find one person who will listen without trying to fix it. And take the bus with a friend if you can. You will feel safe again. It just takes time.โ
โTo whoever needs this: I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was the trial. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ
โFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. Mine was my car broken into three times. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
โHi, you. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. Back then it was mugged walking home. These days I mostly feel like me. Hang on.โ
