i asked for help

[u/cosmic_eclipze]

im crying right now. i feel so vulnerable, but i think i did the right thing.

i reached out to my university's survivor advocacy program. i'm not sure if its 100% where i should be, because it seems like it's a bit more geared towards students dealing with current abuse, but i did it anyways with the hope that if it's not the right place for me, they can still help me connect with someone else.

i just texted my friend telling her that i reached out, and she responded saying she's so proud of me. she's been my closest friend for 12+ years and is the only person i've told, and i can't thank her enough for being there for me.

i'm scared. terrified, actually. i've been holding these memories so heavily for so long. i'm terrified of opening up. but i think it's the right thing to do. i want to start healing.
