I don't know what happened... (possible trigger)
I don't know what it classifies as (rape, harassment, etc) and it's starting to eat at me more and moremore, the curiosity is burning a whole into me, the fear took my voice.
When I was little (I think about 1rst grade) I was pretty much a sister to this friend of mine, Kayla*. Every weekend we were at my house or hers, and I'd often go to church with her family. We were joint at the hip. One day while at my house, Kayla did something that I won't forget and she continued to do it for about a year. She got on top of me and held me down, pinning me with her weight... She pretended she was sleep walking, and I was a boy name James*... She'd moan and say his name... And she'd hump and grind me... I couldn't rarely get away because at that age I was very tiny in build and she was much bigger...
I struggle with my self-worth in part because of it and I struggle with its classification because we were so young and both girls.

Hello Meow,
I'm so sorry this happened to you
Whether this situation classifies as rape, harassment or sexual abuse/assault, it sounds like a very traumatizing experience. You said that you feel like you struggle with self-worth because you are not able to classify what happened. Do you think part of that feeling has to do with internal blame? If so, I can reassure you that it was not your fault at all for what happened. Have you tried seeking professional help to get your thoughts out? It sounds like you are confused and affected greatly by this event that happened in your young life.
We have a self-help guide on Sexual Abuse. Perhaps you may find some solace and helpful ways in order to cope with this traumatizing experience.
Take care
