      I hope this is true. After 20 years of keeping it secret I’m finally in therapy for being raped as a child.

      I would be so happy if the flashbacks and memories would go away… Or be more manageable.

      God damn it this comic upset me.

      I went to therapy, they basically told me: toughen up buttercup, here’s the bill.

      I’m just gonna live with this until i can no longer bare.

        FYI “toughen up buttercup” is a term of bullying and abuse. It is often used to dismiss and belittle someone’s feelings, and to tell them to stop complaining or feeling sorry for themselves. This can be especially harmful if the person is already feeling vulnerable or insecure.

          I don’t really know what to say to this, i could go: “story of my life” and come across in a bad way.

          I know it’s harmful, i’m used to being on the receiving end with those kind of things. It’s like people made it a sport to dissmiss and belittle my ass.
