When I was 8 years old, I was molested by a stranger in bus. This experience made me afraid of men and boys in general, i did everything to be invincible, i kept a lot to myself. Some years later, i was almost gang-raped. They didn’t get to do the real thing but they did nasty things to me. This made me totally lose my self-esteemand identity as a young girl, i became the angry girl next door who hate hugs and eye contact. I’m sharing this because 12 years later i’m still that girl but with better coping methods. I hope i find peace someday, one day.

Thank you so much for posting your story here. You are not alone and you are absolutely right – peace is so important. I would encourage you to talk to a therapist about what you’re feeling and how to best cope with it. Therapists often have really helpful and amazing coping mechanisms they can teach you to help you find peace. It’s not easy and it can take a lot of time and hard work – but it’s so worth it. You are not alone and I’m proud of you for posting your story here. Love, Alexis
