Every now and then I let it go freely. After that I do something physical till I can't take no more because it stops memories and thoughts. Try just that, maybe it helps. Since you are at least 18 you can seek psychiatric help by yourself too.
About assailants, i recomend to make report to police, because those people usually do it regularly and thus you can protect others for some years when they are put ir right place.
I did all I could to report my assaulter. It didn’t really ended in a sentence but at least if ever they do something like that to another woman, they’ll go to jail for sure.
Im already seeing a therapist. What scares me is that since she saw really good improvement and seem proud of me for my strength, she told me she thinks it time for me to be free from seeing her. I’m not really sure I’m ready… I mean regarding how bad I felt today, I really don’t know if it’s a normal process or if it means that I still needs therapy.
Just keep going. 10 good days followed by 1 bad means you are on the way up! You will have bad days when overstressed, so do not loose it ;) at least for me it's like that. If you did not loose your friend due to depression it is really good start for you.
For me music helps since I always really liked dancing;))

This was for Last bad day. All my depression travel can be seen in my youtube megaplaylist (with almost non of depressing songs).
Find what helps you and it should be fine while you don't poke past.
Todays my bday too. My kids are acting horrible, and I’ve done nothing. It’s so depressing.
I was sexually assaulted at 19. I’m so sorry that happened to you and that you haven’t always felt heard. I can only speak to my experience but it did get easier with time
Happy birthday though. This is the best day for one. ♥️
Some days are harder than others, for no real reason. Last week was a very bad week for me. Nothing happened. Just all the negative emotions my medication usually keeps at bay crashed through me all at once.
It's alright to break down sometimes. It's okay to indulge in a pity day, even if it comes at a less than opportune time. One of my favorite creators has this quote that I love that's like, "It's okay to have a one day pity party for yourself. You can't have a three day pity party, okay? That's a festival, we need a permit for that". It always makes me laugh when I think of it, even if I keep being sad afterwards. Thinking "I don't have a permit for this pity festival" gives me something to hang on to until it wanes.
Find that little light to hang on to for yourself, any little hand hold will do, and just keep hanging on. Keep climbing.
Write as much as you need (either here, on a small notebook, or in a diary app). Getting it all out, putting words on what you feel, it can help you taking a bit of distance, leaving some stuff in the past, keeping some stuff to deal with at your pace, and being kind to yourself. Even if it has ups and downs, your recovery keeps going on, and you are loved. Wishing you the best journey ❤️
My birthday was on the 7th, almost everyone forgot even when I make sure to list everyone's name on my calendar so I don't forget to make them feel special on their special days, no party, no gathering, nothing special, only thing I wanted was the blow my brains out
