Do you have support? - September 12th 2010, 06:51 PM

We all know that support is invaluable and extremely helpful when healing after abuse.. that being said, how many of you have at least one person you trust or feel comfortable talking to about rape or abuse? And do you find your support is mostly online or in real-life, or a mix?

My support is mostly online... I tried to get real life support and the people who I told basically told me to get lost... I have 1 friend in real life that is support and a few online who I can tell anything.


If you ever need somebody to talk to pm/vm me.


Support for victims of sexual assault or abuse can be found here start the healing

Re: Do you have support? - September 12th 2010, 07:26 PM

i recently told my friend, about what goes on at home, i was expecting them to brush it off like everyone else who ive told offline, but they didnt they even told me i can talk to them whenever i want! but most of the time i mainly talk about my dad and my family on this site.




the girl who always seemed unbreakble finally
BROKE
the girl who seemed strong
CRUMBLED
the girl who always laughed
CRIED
the girl who never stopped trying finally
GAVE UP

she let her fake smile fade and as she did a tear rolled down her cheek and she whispered

' i can't do this anymore'

My support is a mix of people online and people in real life. I am very thankful for all of them. I don't know where I'd be now if it wasn't for their compassion.

My support is mostly online but I also have my therapist and that helps immensely. While the support I get online is invaluable, being able to talk to others who can understand what I am going through and such, the support I get from my therapist is really helpful as well. It is soooooo helpful to see someone get mad for me, not be afraid to talk about what happened etc.


There could never be amore beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguisesandhoops they make you jump through
You were made tofill a purposethat only you could do
So there could never be amore beautiful you
-Johnny Diaz


Everyday
is so wonderful
And suddenly it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, I feel so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?

'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
-Christina Aguilera

Honestly the only support I've ever had is from TH and people online. Which is really sad because I have a huge family - lots of aunts/uncles/cousins.

Just try to never grow up. - - Never grow up.

My support is a combinaton of real life and on-line. I would say 60/40.

I have a therapist. I had a best friend, but she moved. I mostly just write my feelings down on here. It is probably the most honest I am with anyone, including myself.

I have a mixture of people that I can talk to. I get help online, but also applied for counselling for it and I see the lady once a week.
Family... well mums the only one that knows but doesn't really know what to do.
A few friends know and don't talk about it.

And you're convinced that you're all alone
Look at the stars, instead of the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun
