What should I do if I am being abused?

I'm feeling really scared and trapped. What should I do if I am being abused?

I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's important to talk to someone who can help you. Have you considered reaching out to a trusted friend or a helpline?

I don't know who to trust. What if they don't believe me?

It's understandable to feel that way, but many helplines are trained to listen and support you without judgment. You deserve to be heard and helped.

What if I can't leave my situation right now?

If leaving isn't an option at the moment, focus on creating a safety plan. This can include identifying safe places to go, keeping important documents handy, and having a code word with someone you trust.

Thank you for your help. I really needed someone to talk to.

You're welcome. Remember, you are not alone, and there are people who care and want to help you.
