gonna make a lil thread for all my babies that are victims of *TRIGGER WARNING* sexual assault/r*pe. sometimes itâs hard to carry that weight all by yourself and u need support and validation. U ARE SO LOVED. if u ever need to talk please please please dm me
1. That person took absolutely nothing from you. They may have taken advantage of you but they took nothing from you. Youâre still the same powerful bad bitch u were before as you are after. You are made of light. No one can take that from you ever.
2. Itâs okay to not be comfortable to talk about it yet! But until you are write all tht shit down on a piece of paper and BURN IT. (Safely of course) I promise this one helps a little bit.
3. Your body is amazing. not because itâs desirable to others or because others sexualize you to the point where thatâs all you see yourself as when someone romantic comes in your life. Itâs amazing because itâs yours and you live in it baby.
4. Itâs okay and perfectly normal to not wanna have sex/be sexual for a while afterwards. Only do what youâre comfortable with and what feels safest to you. If you have a partner it might be helpful to mention this to them, and if they donât get it, then theyâre not for you.
5. I know you want revenge or maybe you never wanna think ab this person again. Regardless of how you feel about them, make sure theyâre blocked out of your life. Do everything you can to not be in this persons presence ever again. And if youâre forced to be (school, work, etc)
it might be helpful to tell someone so arrangements can be made so you feel safe (if ur not comfortable with telling someone what actually happened you can always make something up. but it would be most helpful to yourself and other girlies if u told the truth if ur ready to.)
6. You can go to the emergency room/nearest hospital up to 4 days after the assault to get a r*pe kit. Donât worry about the cost of anything because of Ohio Victims of Crime Compensation Fund. âIt is unlawful to bill the victim or the victimâs insurer for the cost of a sexual-
assault examination conducted to collect evidence. Inquiries and feedback are an essential part of making Ohioâs Protocol an effective tool.â
7. Miss karma doesnât let any situation go untouched. Especially one like this. Sheâs handling them. TRUST me sheâs HANDLING them. She doesnât take that shit lightly. Theyâre gonna suffer for making you suffer. I PROMISE.
8. That whole âafter 7 years we all grow new set of skin that theyâve never touchedâ saying is false. Actually after every 28 days all cells are turned over as the most superficial cells are replaced by new ones. The epidermis is the outer layer, which undergoes constant renewal.
Soooo technically if itâs been a month, Your abuser hasnât touched your body. Only your old body. Which doesnât exist anymore
9. You are so loved. By me. By others. Iâm so sorry that that person made you feel so small. Because youâre larger than life. They will never hurt you again. From one victim to another, we will get through this. we are strong and resilient and beautiful.
