Hi, Im Frances
This is my first post so I thought I would introduce myself.
I am 17 years old and my current diagnoses is BPD (borderline personality disorder). I have been on medication and going through treatment on and off since I was 11 when they first diagnosed me with deppression and anxiety.
When I was 14 I was sexually assaulted at a friends brothers house by the brothers friend. I was confused on how I felt about it at first because of my age, I didnt fully understand what had happened. A couple of months later I told my sister what happened and she told me that it was rape as I did not consent. Coming to grips with what happened I went into a downward spiral as we started an investigation that went absolutly no where! I became very deppressed and pushed everyone away, I ruined my year of school and all my friendships. No one ever tells you that the hardest part comes afterwards, you never forget how someone violated you against your will, especially when they are nearly double your age.
I heard nothing from police for months until I got a phone call one day. It was a different detective. She explained to me they had given the case to her (mind you, no one had notified me about anything) and they had found that he was in another state and couldnt do anything about it. There was no case and no charges, he gets to walk around free and i get flashbacks and disgust with myself.
To this day im still recovering and I get a little better everytime I put the effort into my mental health but it is and always will be a struggle to cope and get through each day.
