I'm a survivor not a victim

I have spent my whole life being hurt and abused at different times throughout my entire 17 years of life. But two years ago my whole life changed when I was sexualy harassed, abused, and hurt. I was in a relationaltionship with an ex boyfriend and it started out good, then it became scary and abusive. I didn't know it wasn't right, or that it wasn't normal. Even though I said no, me body became the subject of whatever he wanted from me. At first I thought it was my fault and blamed myself, I already had an eating disorder but it became worse to the point that I was only 100 pounds if not less when I am supposed to be at least 125. I started to self harm and didn't realize I was hurting myself so much. I only stayed around him, I gave up on school and stopped talking to my friends. I was so lost and confused for over half a year that I even started to consider suicide. But then my mom finally saved me. She didn't know it yet but she saved me. I went to an in patient treatment center where I continued to suffer with my memories for 6 full months before I finally got help. I am a survivor because I have overcome it. You can be a survivor too but you just have to believe I hope that I can inspire you to reach out and share your story. you are strong and can survive anything make yourself a survivor anf speak up. Not a voiceless victim! Loves you all!!!!!
