My hope to any survivor is that you don’t feel alone, that you recognize that healing is a process that doesn’t have a set time frame. Don't give up.
Report
Acceptance of personal space and keeping unlearning people away, as a means of not giving second or third chances cause change is internal and external and requires a managing.
Report
Keep hope alive inside your heart like the fluttering of a dove, that you know you have always been worth cherishing, that love which does not hurt you is waiting. Hope above all things. Hope always.

I’m STILL healing, and every day is work. It will never completely go away, but seeking help, and working on it every day is how we get there.
Report
It is not your fault. You are strong and capable. Love does not hurt.
Report
I have to be hopeful that one day it will all be over. But I need to act.
Report
Instead of relying on others, focus on your own abilities, hopes, and dreams. Every day, strive to become a better version of yourself and work towards achieving your goals. With dedication and effort, you can become the person you aspire to be.

Healing is to realize that it was not your fault.
Report
I would love to heal from the PTSD I suffer everyday. The flashbacks and feeling of reliving the sexual assault is overbearing majority of my days. I hide it well, but I feel defeated.
Report
Healing is something I once assumed was a quick fix. Nov 2022 I was assaulted and raped - I was in denial and running off a mixture of fear and adrenaline until Nov 2024; where my body literally shut down for 2 weeks. I've over eaten. I've over drank. I neglected myself. I self-harmed. I attempted to take my life multiple times. All of which most would disapprove of especially as i often continue with no.3&4 to this day. Yet, it kept me alive.
Dear reader, this story contains language of self-harm that some may find triggering or discomforting.

I believe you. What’s happening to you is not your fault and you don’t have to live like this.
Report
What happened to you is not on you, it's on them. It's a part of your story but it is not your whole story. You are stronger than you think you are.
Report
There’s light at the end of the darkness. Every day you seek healing is a day you may begin to feel a little more whole and a little less broken. It takes time, but don’t give up. We’ve got this!
Report
You deserve to be whole and feel safe in yourself. Even if it’s unbearable right now, I hope you stay with yourself on the way to freedom.
Report
IT WAS NEVER YOUR FAULT. Even though healing can feel so much harder… IT'S SO WORTH IT. I would 100% choose to spend my life with PTSD than to not have left.
Report
There is always hope. When you are in it there will seem like there is no hope. Keep having faith that things will change. The important part is continuing to do the right things right. The Best is Yet to Come.

You are allowed to feel whatever you are feeling, and it wasn't your fault.

I love you all out there! You are not alone! You are strong! The abuse is not your fault!
Report
Healing is a process that involves regaining the power to focus on what we can do instead of what we can't. It's a journey that requires separating our capabilities from others' involvement in our lives. We need to regain the power to continue making our lives valuable and meaningful for many.

Ladies/Gents, Getting out is THE HARDEST DECISION you'll ever make and it's the scariest thing I've ever done. I hope that everyone can get out safely, rebuild, refocus and heal.
Report
I am still working to be healed. I'm want to be listened to, I want to be believed, I want to be free from abuse and I want my child to be safe and free from abuse.
Report
Healing is a reclamation of self. A restoration of hope and freedom.
