There is a light at the end of the tunnel

I was sexually assaulted by a kid my own age in 7th grade. After I was sexually assaulted I fell into a really dark place with depression and anxiety to the point where I want to take my own life. I felt like I wasn’t myself after that. It took lots of years of counseling and switching schools to get where I am today. I am now a senior in high school and I still do have anxiety and I have been diagnosed with ptsd. I still have some rough days, and the thing that keeps me going was the thought that it gets better. I have now shared with my entire school my story. I am here for everyone who feels that they are alone in their situation, and I am here to make sure you are not alone!
