But i think you will know deep down what to do and if its the right or wrong thing for you.
All the best
I'm so sorry to hear what you have been through. Have you had/are you getting support from anybody about this? We're here for you

i agree with @Shaunie and @kathleen0172 on this one, ultimately you know what is best for you and are able to make the decision that will benefit you most but is definitely something you should consider all of the options for and possibly talking to someone one on one about it could be the next step if you haven’t already.
Big love and respect to your strength in this difficult time
I'm so sorry that you're struggling. Ultimately, it's your body and your healing that's the priority. If you think reliving that experience will help you reclaim your power, there are ways to make sure you're safe. Have you gotten any support from a counsellor about this?
I just wanted to say you have been so brave to talk about this, and we are all here for you. I can see it's been a few days since you spoke on this thread so I was just wondering how you might be feeling at the moment?
It really is your decision, but that doesn't mean you have to make the decision alone. Have you received any support from anybody with this?
We are here for you! Take good care x
Thank you for being open and honest about the ways you have been feeling. It sounds like you've been going through a tough time lately, but you are doing the right thing by talking about it - we are here for you
You mentioned you self harmed this week, and I am just wondering if you have received any support for this before? You don't have to go through this alone. There are lots of coping strategies that people find useful when they are feeling this way; sometimes we have to try a few different ones until we find the one that works best for us and that is completely okay. Childline have a great article about coping techniques here. You might also find some useful information on https://www.selfharm.co.uk.
It sounds like the day of the event is a difficult day for you, and that's completely understandable. I think it's really important to have a support network around that day, to help you through things. Is there anybody who you would feel comfortable confiding in to ask for support on the day? It is always completely okay to ask for help - you really deserve to feel supported. Also, always remember we will be here for you - to support you and find the best support for you.
Take good care x
It's understandable for this to feel like the hardest thing telling people. It takes a lot of strength to go through the trauma again and it sounds like it's feeling very raw for you. Like Coc0mac said, it's important to have a support network around you because you really do deserve to be supported through this and it's not easy going through these things alone. How do you feel when you're able to tell people about what happened?
That's really nice you're going away on holiday soon. I really hope you get the break you deserve
That's really positive to hear you're being pointed in the right direction finally. It sounds like you've been struggling quite a lot on your own for a while now. What support are you receiving from these organisations?
Keep us updated with how everything is going. We're here to support you through this too
I just wanted to echo @Aife that we are all here to listen and support you ❤️ It’s great to hear that you’re starting to get support. The first step in recovery is to open up and talk about what happened so I think it’s incredible that you’ve been able to do that and shows just how strong you are!
