does anyone else who experienced sexual assault feel like it doesn’t really affect them anymore and therefore feel invalid like i should have more trauma but i don’t somehow

yes, even when it happened i didn’t really feel traumatized and it makes me question what’s wrong with me that i don’t really feel any sort of way about it. i think it’s because i literally cannot remember any details at all and have blocked it all out

it starts to feel like it doesn't affect me because it became my new normal but i also think it makes sense that you might compartmentalize it and so you don't really feel like it affects you yk

that’s kind of how i feel. it happened many times for me so I habitually started to block it out, and because of regular substance use at the time the memories i do have are really hazy. It used to really affect me but i felt crazy because i don’t even know what is affecting me like how can i be so triggered over something i don’t remember
