Hi guys, it’s been a while since I have posted anything, and this has been for good reason; I promise!
I decided this would be a good day to return to the instagram as today is incidentally the anniversary of when I was sexually assaulted in 2020. A lot has changed since then, so I thought it might be good for some of you guys to see the change that can happen to a survivor, especially if something has happened to you recently. When I was first assaulted I felt like my world would never change and I would still feel so paranoid and anxious, still have all of my intrusive thoughts and flashbacks and I certainly didn’t think I would live to see 18 years old. Yet here I am. Now living happily 3 years later (however recovery is certainly NOT a straight road and I still have bad days!!), my intrusive thoughts are almost gone. I used to have them every single day. Change does happen, both positive and negative, but speaking up about this stuff really helps. Thank you for everyone who supported me throughout this hiatus whether you knew what was going on or not. I’m now in a very happy relationship, I have great friends and these are all amazing support systems, whereas before when I started this page I simply didn’t have it. I needed time to adjust to living in a better situation than I was before, and of course I had exams!
Posts will start happening again at the same time, 2pm BST, and if you didn’t know, the form is still open for all to use, however I will still be doing all of our other avenues in which I started previously.
Again, thank you, to everyone.
