This is my story for National Share a Story Month.

I suffer from PTSD after traumatic events occured in my life. I was sexually abused by a relative since a young age until my teenage years and then emotionally abused by a closer relative from a teenager until my twenties.

I was then sexually assualted by a person I was once close with.

I am constantly anxious due to these experiences, seeking closure and having constant flashbacks.

On the other hand, they have made me the strong person I am today and gave me the ability to understand other people who have also gone through simialr situations.

This is my reason for volunteering with the emotional support helpline.
