Evelny, how fantastic are you?! Awesome!! My bf's grandmother just turned 100 a few months ago, it is so nice to see people go on and live.. gives us hope? Especially when you have a good quality of life. Thank you for doing this AMA.

My question is a bit morbid and sad.. but it is something I would love to know an answer to...

I am worried that as I get older, inevitably I will lose the people in my life that I love the most and I won't be able to cope with it.... what is the best advice you can think of.. to help us to deal with losing our partners/parents/best friends to old age etc?

How can we try to go on without them?

Thank you again. xox

I know that my message may get eaten up my the sea of others, I am very happy to see others supporting you. I have suffered abuse in the past although thankfully not sexual but I know 3+ friends who have and they have never gone forward to report the people who raped them, I tried gently to ask them if they would, while they would talk to me about it they have never been able to step forward and bring those men to justice - who may have gone and done it to others.

I can understand the fear, WELL DONE, be proud of yourself and how many other people's lives you have undoubtedly saved by doing this.

I know that you will probably always feel, as you have stated, depressed and have anxiety, feel that you "could have been" something that you are now not. However - YOU CAN! You are only 25, life can literally start NOW! I know you have a long way to go emotionally, but please try to build yourself up, be strong and truly believe that now he is behind bars, you are safe.

** You can do whatever you want, you can be whatever and whoever you want, you have already been true to yourself by doing this **

My questions are, what is your next step? Can you build yourself a road to recovery and positivity? I believe you can and I truly hope that you can believe it too.
