I told my mom today about the sexual abuse I experienced from my cousin when I was younger. It happened about 15 minutes ago, and ever since I told her I’ve felt really strange. I feel sick to my stomach, like I might cry or throw up, and I don’t really know how to describe it.
Is this a normal reaction after finally telling someone? If you’ve been through something similar, how did you feel after opening up for the first time? I guess I’m just looking for reassurance because I feel overwhelmed right now.
