I watched my brother die

...See more I watched my brother die. He was swimming, and then suddenly, he was drowning. I could've saved him if I reacted quick enough, but I didn't. The doctors tried to being him back, but he suffocated on his own vomit. The lack of oxygen left him braindead, so my family pulled the plug on him. It happened three years ago, but to me, it feels like it was only yesterday. I still have flashbacks, I still wake up in the dead of night with nightmares of it. I still can't get near a body of water without having a panic attack.

Flashbacks keep me up at night

...See more It happened almost three years ago, but it still feels like yesterday. It was my ex, although they weren't my ex at the time. We were hanging out, watching a movie, and they just sort of... Started. I didn't say no, I didn't try to stop it. I froze, and I was silent. Their hands were cold and coarse. I was uncomfortable. It felt like some strange, surreal dream. I left after. That was my first and only time. We broke up soon after. They had been cheating on me, and left me for the man they cheated with. I asked them about it a few months later, and they said I was imagining things, that I just wanted to be a victim. They said they had been abused that way, so I was a bad person for accusing them of it. They stopped talking to me after that. I just feel so confused. I could use some emotional support, someone who can make me feel safer.
