From people who came through it
“Hey, I'm not far ahead of you. I reported mine and it went nowhere, and that hurt worse than I expected. But I'm still here, still sewing badly and walking by the sea. If you're waiting on a court date or just waiting for the day to feel normal, it's slow. Find one thing that keeps your hands busy. Find one person who doesn't need the whole story. That's what's working for me, most days.”
Alexis T · been through sexual assault survivors“I 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.”

Midwife in Atlanta 43 · been through sexual assault survivors“Reading 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.”
