If you need someone right now
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“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.”
Areeba from Hyderabad · been through sexual assault survivors“For 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. x”
Sherika F · 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.”
