I can relate to your post and I relate to the MC too. As a sexual assault survivor as well I find these stories to be enjoyable in a certain way but I can relate to feeling anxious while reading

I get so anxious, and my stomach churns while reading every chapter. Every time the MC dissociates and pretends to move forward, I remember I'm doing the freaking same as I read every update.
**TRIGGER WARNING**
The two times I got molested by adult men as a teen, I still had to keep going about each day. Never knowing when I'd get triggered. I EVEN SMILED AT THEM, I even was careful of not to make others feel bad when they found out. I don't think people realize how much some people can mentally distance themselves from trauma. Which is why it all comes out so hard when we're triggered. There are literally people who remember their assaults and relive them clear as day, 50 YEARS LATER every day or when triggered. I feel/think so many things when I read this like like I'm in a toxic codependent relationship where I've deluded myself to feel comfort in the pain to cope.
