I'm in my mid 20s and I can say that I have yet to achieve...

anything. I haven't done much in my life and this is due to anxiety and depression. I won't say my whole life has been crap because it hasn't, but for the last years it's gradually going down hill and I'm scared what'll happen when I actually crash. Okay I'll start off with what has happened to me through out the years. At 5 or 6 I was sexually abused by a family friends son. He was slightly older and I didn't understand what was happening at the time. He would sneak me off and rape me while our parents were in another part of the house. I get a lot of flashbacks but in general I don't remember much and I count that as a blessing. Recently I have also experienced sexual abuse from an uncle. Thankfully this time I reacted as quickly as possible and told close relatives who were very helpful even though I didn't tell the whole truth because I don't want to be the reason my family don't talk. This is causing me pain. depression does that.
