This is a hard one for me to write, or even think about most of the time. I’m 27 now and only just recently been able to bring myself to report what happened to me as a child. I was a victim of cocsa, it started around the age of 6 with inappropriate sexual behaviour and continued up until he raped me at age 13. After that I did whatever I could to never be in the same space as him again.

I’ve spent my whole life carrying around so much guilt and shame and anger about my childhood. I’ve developed so many mental health problems from not only the abuse but also the confusion that came with it. Not being able to talk about it, questioning whether it was really that bad, questioning if it could really be classed as abuse if he was the same age as me. The anger I felt but having nowhere to place it as he was also young and probably abused himself. I lost almost my entire childhood and teenage years to mental illness, and even now it’s still a daily struggle just to get through the day sometimes.

And now, at the age of 27, after dealing with it on my own in my head for over a decade, I’ve reported it. Do I expect much to come from it? No, not at all. But for the sake of my own mental health, I had to. Every single time I’ve thought about it or remembered something the same questions run through my head; ‘what if I’m not the only one?’ ‘What if it’s a pattern of behaviour that he still exhibits now?’ ‘What if me saying something helps even 1 other person?’

I don’t know if I was the only one, I don’t know if he’s still like that, I don’t know any of the answers to those questions. All I know is that I couldn’t keep quiet any longer on the off chance that my report could potentially help someone else. For my own peace of mind, I’ve done all I can do, and now I can work on finally closing this door.

What happened to me has left me deeply wounded and it’s something I will be paying for for the rest of my life. And even if the report goes nowhere, at least I know there will be a record of it, and I no longer have to suffer in silence.

Last time I got my Hba1c checked in April it was at 119mmol! Which is scary when I think about it. Was having so many symptoms and was struggling so much day to day. Been on Mounjaro since end of may, currently on 5mg after 2 months on 2.5mg. I got my bloods done this week and my Hba1c has come back at 83!!! Massive massive improvement in just 3 months and I’m so so pleased! I’ve not had a Hba1c this low since 2023, and while I know I still have a way to go I’m so happy with the improvement

I’m on mounjaro for diabetes management mostly, currently 9 weeks in and just started on 5mg. I checked my fasting sugar levels this morning and for the first time in literal years I’ve had a normal, in range reading! I haven’t had an in range reading in I think my entire adult life since being diagnosed at 18. Super super happy this morning:) I’ve also lost 5kg in this 9 weeks which is slow going but considering how bad my glucose has been I’m very happy with it too

Feeling positive for the first time in a long time

i'm being put on mounjaro at the end of the month, the GP has prescribed it to me via nhs as my diabetes control is very poor. my last hba1c was at 119 mmol! im just wondering if theres a time limit on how long they can prescribe it for? for example, if mounjaro helps to reduce my glucose levels by a good amount will they be likely to then stop it as my glucose is under control? im nervous because i really hope it helps with my sugar levels as they really have not been good lately but i dont want to get it all under control for it to be stopped and then it starts creeping up again. are the nhs able to prescribe it longterm or is it limited?
