I got sexually assaulted back in October of 2024 I feel like I can't breathe I feel like my brain has been shut off I feel like I'm looking in a mirror with a different person on the other side all the things that I've ever happened in my life I feel like it's on paper but it's not me I feel like I'm having an identity crisis I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore I see this person in these photos and I say oh well she's to have such a life I don't even know who I am feel like I can't breathe I feel like I'm inhaling all the time I feel like I'm doing things for other people and not for myself anymore I feel like I'm someone that I'm not I feel like a nobody I feel like if I die that no one would even know no one would even care because they don't even know who I am

@friendlyShade2009 you are struggling, but you are not lost. It's not over for you yet. You are still here, and you've seen how things in life can change. For you , things changed drastically and instantly in the worst possible ways. But even if the past can't be erased, changes can still happen in the future. It might take longer, so long that you won't even notice things are moving forward at first. But it can happen. Things can get better. For the moment, it doesn't matter how, or when, as long as you hold on to the fact that it can happen. It's possible. It might also be difficult, or sould-crushing, or so many other things. But it is possible.

And if you can embrace the thought that feeling good again when day is possible, know that you don't have to do this alone. What happened to you is something that could crush even the strongest people. If you need support, don't hesitate to ask for it. You deserve it. It's not weakness. It's the bravest thing you could do. Whether it's about going to therapy or simply opening up to someone near you, this is a sign of strength.

Think of this: what do you have to lose? You're felling like you're not yourself anymore, like you have nothing to lose anymore. So if that's case, what is there to lose in trying to seek support? Even the slightest chance to do something good for yourself is worth it.

What happened to you does not define you as a person, or your life, or your future. What happens from now on is something up to you to define.
I wish you all the best
