I Was In a Very Bad Place and Felt so Alone
;
I’m Emma and I’m 34. I was 15 when I was raped by an older man who I thought was my friend. I kept this to myself, I was so ashamed. Unfortunately, from the traumatic experience I was diagnosed at 17 with fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression I was in a very bad place and felt so alone.Â
However, I finally received help! It was tough but I did it. I told my boyfriend he was my rock and we got there together! I’ve been married to him now for 17 years! We have three children. He’s my soulmate. I’m in a happy place now and so grateful I was shown Saprea.
