A warning to all who post their stories... there are sick and disgusting people who come on here. I was sent this last year after I posted for the first time and it messed with me so bad. Luckily I had some friends to talk to about it, but I didn't mention it for several months. I have deleted it.3yr ⋅ LostGirl42 ⋅ r/adultsurvivors

Hi. This is my first post here. Please remove if not allowed... I'm a survivor, and as a kid I began teaching myself to draw pictures therapeutically because therapy was not an option for me. I'm 28 now, and this is one of my recent paintings, called As Happy As Can Be. I hope you like it.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/adultsurvivors

I’ve been struggling to accept what happened to me and this community has been invaluable in that process. Yesterday I got this necklace to symbolize the progress. I’ve struggled to call myself a “survivor” but it’s easier now that I can connect myself to the amazing people here. Thank you all3yr ⋅ cookiedoughsquares ⋅ r/adultsurvivors

I see lots of invalidation of our trauma on here as well as a lot of comparison to what others experienced,so this seemed relevant. Their instagram page is at bottom of pic. Lots of words of wisdom there ❤️ Be well, all!4yr ⋅ NancyDrew1972 ⋅ r/adultsurvivors

Yikes, they didn’t even attempt to hide victim blaming here. This is such a toxic mentality. Writers on social media really think they’re writing some powerful pieces when all they’re doing is more harm than good to their supporters.3yr ⋅ currydesi ⋅ r/adultsurvivors
