Hey! Sensitive topic coming up so if you don't wanna awenser thats fine!
Kotoko, any tips for copping with SA thats via online or trauma in general? Im starting to process the online SA i was put through
Firstly, I think it comes with knowing that it wasn't your fault. At all. And whoever did that to you deserves the worst punishment ever! Jail! Jail for a thousand years!
But... enough about them. I don't wanna talk about them anymore. They don't deserve your attention. Instead, what I'd rather focus on is you. Coping-wise, it's really hard to actually start to process it. For a while, you deny everything or try to justify it. But it's not about what you wear, what you say, what you do, or anything else. It was wrong. Period.
And as for coping... Here's my favorite methods to use. Number one, writing it all out in a journal. I know it may sound stupid or like it doesn't work, but I've found that the more I write stuff down, the more my brain begins to process it. Writing it down makes your brain remember that you are valid, and it begins the healing. Number two, if you have a bath scrub, take a long, hot shower with it and imagine washing away every dirty thing they've ever seen or wanted from you. You're more than that and you don't belong to them.
And finally, keep your head held high! You're still here today, because you're gifted and you're strong! And you're the adorbsest of the adorbs! I'm so proud of you because you belong! In the end, everything will be alright. In the meantime...
Have some totally adorbs hearts!
Hey! Look at that! One of those is even your symbol! Proving just how amazing you are!
