so you were taken advantage of while you were in an altered state of mind due to mental health

would you say the same if your experiences happened to someone else? treat yourself with the same kindness that you would treat others

Putting yourself in risky situations doesn’t make you responsible for people assaulting you. That’s still on them

Like the violent r*pe involving multiple ppl that was so traumatic it shocked me out of the mania? Can't help but feel like it's all my fault. Or even that I made it up and it didn't happen, bc thinking back, it was just so comically horrible I can't register it as real. I then slipped into a 2 year depression after allat 😭👍
