trigger warning: trauma, sexual assault, abuse



In the UK there’s been plenty of discourse online about the death of Sarah Everard and in turn it’s evolved into discussions surrounding the fundamental experience that women face in terms of how commonplace sexual assault is at the hands on men. For me, it’s brought up a lot of trauma and negative feelings, especially more recent trauma after coming to terms with a sexual assault I experienced last year after being in denial for a while. It’s safe to say that over the past couple of days I’ve been inconsolable. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with all of the same discussions happening online over the past couple of days?

Side bar: I am sending so much love to all the women in this group. It sucks that we are having to deal with the trauma of existing as women in this world. You are all so strong, I adore you and am in awe of you❤️
