What's a moment from today where you felt completely overwhelmed by something simple? I know rape is a common thing. It shouldn’t be but it is. It’s never happened to me. my mom has always made inappropriate comments and warned me an extreme amount of times about kidnappers and rapists. She never lets me go out on my own despite me being almost 17. My brothers went out at way younger ages. Her words cause so much irrational fear that I am constantly scared of being kidnapped or raped anytime I leave the house. I’m still scared even in my house. I can’t even go to a regular chiropractor appointment without worrying about it. The guy who does my chiropractor work is super sweet but the fear my mom has built in me is too strong to brush aside.
