I am a sexual abuse victim as a toddler. I am 60 and I still have cPTSD and need counseling. I cut off all local news to help with depression and anxiety and only read what I choose, yet in the past week there are literally over a dozen new cases with attempted kidnappings, peepers in bathrooms and showers, multiple rapes, CSAM from various religious organizations, and lawsuits going back decades. It seems like a pandemic of predators is happening.

    I’m so sorry this happened to you. It should not happen to anyone.

    Please filter all your news and social media so that you can enter words into the filters. Filter out all words and topics that upset you. Don’t use social apps that don’t have these filters. Get used to not reading news apps that show you whatever they want. You be in control of what news and social media content you see. Doing this will help you a lot and block out all the awful news in this world. A lot of us who have trauma just are too sensitive to it and must protect ourselves.
