Hello 👋
Hello, my name is Vivi and I'm new to 7cups.
4 months ago I was traumatized by a guy on a dating app who catfishes and accuses lgbt men of being a pedophile (sorry if that word triggers anyone) and he filmed me and posted it on soical media (both are taken down) but I lost my job, some of my friends dropped me without asking what has happened, and I just been feeling more depressed. I am in therapy working on myself (reconnecting my values, recovery from the trauma((past trumas as well)), and forgiveness) I felt scared to share my story for worry and fear of judgement. I just feel isolated with myself as I try to hang in there but some days I just want cry and find support but it is scary for me to share my story but I feel good sharing my tale.
@Vivikun9
its sad to hear your side of the story but i hope you are recovering well.

I am it will take time. Some days are good and some are bad. It just hard when I was with my friends on ***. I been with them for almost 2 years and to turn their backs on me. No explanation or anything... it broke my heart
@Vivikun9
at least from such an event you got to know who are your real friends and who are not. i understand that friends cannot show support in public but friends are supposed to supposed behind the scenes.
I am so sorry that happened to you. You're a strong person to share your story. Seven cups is a great safe place to share- it's helped me a ton. Although I can't say my traumas the same as yours but trauma is hard to deal with alone. I'm glad you have a therapist - it's so important to have a professional to help you and guide you through such difficulties.
I'm so sorry you lost your job. My CPTSD is debilitating enough that I had to leave my job. Using this time to focus on your healing is a good idea.
I wish the best for you.
Best ABB

Thank you. To be honest, it still tough to talk about my story as it seems like I was judge quickly as guilty (even though I'm not) as I felt powerless to speak
