It won’t matter when I do.

I’m tired of fighting a battle I was never winning.

So, I needed to put this vent comic somewhere so here. [tw, mentions of rape, self harm, suicidal ideation , addiction/alcholism]

I made this for my main socials so ignore the hiatus part. I’ve been on a slight one on my mains, Reddit is sort of a doomscrolling thing for me.
Anyways.
If something like this happens to you remember that it’s not your fault. I’m still actively struggling with this.

It happened a few weeks ago.

I still feel gross.

So on July 11 going into the 12 I was sexually assaulted by someone I trusted.

I (in my 20s trans man) was sexually assaulted by someone I was planning to date when they came to visit.
I said no repeatedly until I said yes because I couldn’t get out the situation.
It’s been hard to leave my house. It’s been hard to just exist in general to be honest.
I know I need to report what happened but it’s been scary and I’m so scared I wouldn’t be believed because I’m so used to being called a liar in situations like these.

What’s worse is I’m sadly used to being assaulted- so why am I reacting so badly to this? Shouldn’t I be able to move on like normal?

Am I falling apart because it happened when I finally was moving forward from my previous traumas?

Is it bad I haven’t reported yet?

I feel like a failure because I started drinking again- heavily, and even stopped working on my comics and more because I just don’t know how to look at myself or things I create without feeling like I’m some sort of gross creature.

Honestly I don’t even know what advice I’m looking for. I think I just need to get this off my chest and get support in some way?

I have friends, family who are helping me- but I feel like it being my only subject matter right now might be draining for them.

I am sorry if this post makes no sense. I’m kinda a mess rn.

TW: eye strain, self harm, suicidal ideation, self deprecation.

Deepest apologies for posting twice so close together. I’m not feeling the best.

Feeling alone while surrounded by people- it’s poison
And I have no way to describe it to those around me because the loneliness probably won’t go away.
Not after everything I have been through and my overthinking doesn’t help in the slightest.
I’m tired.

TW: eye strain, suicidal thoughts and ideation, selfharm, self deprecation.

Yeah, life is life I guess. Constantly assaulted and used for my body is not the best- and worse is when it feels like even when you have so many people around to help? It feels like any day without any communication… means you are alone forever. Idk what I’m ranting about rn tbh. I’m tired and just kinda don’t wanna be here.

Hello!

So I have noticed a lot of my art gets downvoted, and I am aware I am NOT the best artist; but I would like someone to check out my art to see if I need to improve on anything

  1. I am aware my anatomy is TERRIBLE, and I would love someone tips on that
  2. I will not change my art style, if that’s what is putting ppl off; would it be better to find a different place to post?
  3. Rendering and shading is a struggle of mine, any tips as well is helpful!!
