    Last night, i had a chat with a friend and it shook out a bunch of stuff. When I finally got to sleep, it wasnt really restful. i thought it would be better today, but its not.

    we were talking about past relationships, and my journey to where I am today. I had an ex take advantage of me physically. I didn't know what to do at the time. I still regret it, and I can't shake the shame after all this time

    at the hospital, kinda. I was in a small town at the time, and I was still on good terms with my family, so I didn't want want to continue after I checked out. I was terrified that someone would find out.

    I don't know. I just don't want to feel like this anymore... I thought I could handle it, justifying it to myself as the first concrete moment in my life that started me down this path.

    That's cool. Sometimes just writing things down can be helpful.
