Sexual Trauma: Muted Emotions & Keeping Quiet

 I've been a victim of sexual abuse since I was a toddler. Until now, on Friday, June 25, 2021, I've denied all of my sexual abuse. When I was between the ages of 4-6 years old, I was assaulted by a family friend who was a teenager at the time. As a teenager, I told a few close friends the time, but they were untroubled because I wasn't emotional when I told them. During my adolescent years, I was very promiscuous and had no idea why. Instead of facing the truth that I had been wounded not only as a child but also as a teenager, I used sex and the implication of sex to escape from my innermost sentiments and fears. I've had multiple interactions with men who raped me then telling me we had sex and everything was OK. As a result, I claimed everything was fine and stayed quiet and to myself.

I was freed from a two-year toxic relationship and sank into a deep depression. When I was 18, I became involved with a man who didn't like me but felt like I did. My eating disorder was at its lowest point when the breakup was fresh, and I lost a significant amount of weight in a short span of time. I had lost a great deal of hair and was having a hard time getting through my day-to-day life. I tried drinking and smoking marijuana to cope, but it didn't help. I was dealing with a man who wasn't being honest with me, so I went through his social media and put two and two together and questioned him about it on several occasions. He called me pathetic, insecure and controlling....at least those are the three insults...
