You Are Not Alone
Ways to deal with being sexually abused
1. Remember
that you are not alone.
You aren’t the only one that has had this happen
to them and there are people, support groups, and foundations that are there to
support you. I have listed a few of these organizations below.
2. Be
Brave
Tell someone what has happened to you whether it
be a friend, the police, or the doctor at the hospital when you go to get
examined. Someone needs to tell the authorities so that they can help stop this
from happening again. Protect yourself and others by being brave and stepping
forward.
3. Remember
that it’s not your fault
Women often blame themselves when these things
happen. They feel they could have been more careful or could have done things
differently to avoid it. You have to know that it is not your fault that this
happened to you.
4. Find
tools to help you cope
Take Self Defense classes, go to a support
group, do something to make yourself feel comfortable in the world again. Spend
time talking to people about what happened. Don’t hide from it and don’t hold
it all in. The more you talk about it the easier it will be to let it go and
have your life back.
