Yes. Sexually assaulted and was in an abusive and sexually coercive relationship for years that did permanent damage to my nervous system. I'm now disabled due to multiple chronic illnesses. I am seriously worried about what to do to escape the coming onslaught of triggering information on the daily - it's cognitively challenging *and* physically challenging. It's not realistic to shut myself off from the outside world.. but that might be what it takes.
Deep breaths are a start.

Yeah my mental health is kind of permanently messed up. I struggle to survive the day while my abusers and rapist are thriving. But the best fix I've found is to focus on myself, not them.

I am in Australia and at this point I am considering shutting myself off and just creating and producing feminist and environmental content for younger women.
