Oh, shucks! I’m sorry to hear! :(Although I can’t give a immediate solution, I do have some things I use to help me stay balanced in situations like this! First, if you’re feeling overloaded by all the people and sounds, don’t feel afraid to excuse yourself to the bathroom for five minutes. Just having some piece and quiet with your mind can help you ground yourself. I’d also suggest scheduling! Although it seems very stupid, it actually helps a lot with anxiety. Often when people with a type of anxiety are thrown into a situation they can’t control- for example, school - it can be very harsh. But if you simply put a schedule into your life it can make you feel a lot more in control of your day!

Those angry thoughts are not in any way your fault nor do they make you a bad person. It’s human nature to want to get ‘revenge’ on people, especially if it’s something as serious and traumatizing as sexual assault.

They stare at me

Disappointed

I look back at them.

They are all so full of self-hate

Never satisfied with what I show them

They look,

I lie

They see another through their eyes.

Skin and bone is where they’re at,

But

Where you see thin, I showed fat

Even though they are thin their eyes deceive everything.

I am never cruel, only truthful

I never judge them by what they show me

You only see your imperfections

But every day I see your beauty

Your sad eyes meet mine

You tell me what I show you is ruining you

You shouldn’t blame me.

I wish I could show you what I see

But I am merely a piece of glass

That adores your reflection

You just crave some affection

Stop worrying about your complexion

Because to me you’re perfection
