Can't tell if I'm over dramatic for still being upset and low-key depressed over SA. I wasn't 🍇, so I feel like I should get over it, but I (for some reason) can't?? I don't know how to feel…

It’s very valid to still be upset over it even if it wasn’t rape. I recommend talking about this with friends and/or family you trust who are willing to listen and especially with a therapist.

you’re not dramatic! that was trauma. it doesn’t have to be the worst form of trauma to still be bad and damaging

trust me i’m in kind of a similar situation, there were a few instances over the years where i felt violated and like something could’ve happened to me. i’m lucky nothing did happen but just the potential threat of it still hurts

No that’s extremely valid. It really fucks with your mind and depression is a normal response.

Mine happened 6 years ago now. I was lucky and someone interrupted him so it did not get far at all. But I felt so unbelievably violated. Some days now I cannot get out of bed but it comes further between. I promise you will be okay. Do you best but don’t feel bad for how you feel.
