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.
…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.
Middle school CANNOT be THAT traumatizing 😭😭
[Exactly how traumatizing it was--Caution: NSFL]
