From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I made a safety plan with my support worker and keep it in my bag. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are in 2023. It was it happened at a party at uni and I couldn't see past it. I picked up the guitar again. Bit by bit it comes back. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

  • โ€œI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I keep my documents in a bag at a friend's house, just in case. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

    Priya from Kanpur ยท been through sexual assault survivors
  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: I was right where you are in 2023. Back then it was flashbacks during intimacy. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. xโ€
