Middle school CANNOT be THAT traumatizing ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[โ€“] Draegur@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

[Exactly how traumatizing it was--Caution: NSFL]I was sexually assaulted in the locker room by other students. No one believed me. I subsequently experienced a psychological breakdown. The traumagenic dissociation plunged me through egodeath and I stopped being a person for a year. I was literally not myself again until 2009. I am still slightly messed up to this day, but the two decades that followed immediately after the incident were especially rough.

Edit: this is not a dunk and I don't hold it against you. By all accounts, in a better world, middle school shouldn't be traumatizing. But unfortunately, this is not the better world.

Omg :o sorry to hear, was not expecting that

...truly i'm grateful you listened. What I experienced cannot be un-experienced, but ... the only way there's any chance of people doing something about this kind of terrible event, taking preventative measures against it, etc, is if they know it happens.

A peaceful existence comes from understanding conflict and how to address it.
