Could I have a private post please?

I hope I do not receive any backlash from this post. I am simply asking if anyone has some advice.

I am currently nearing the end of my first trimester of pregnancy. I am 18 years old, in a committed relationship, and very much struggling from my mental health.

Roughly a year and a half ago, I experienced a traumatic event, which involved me being groomed and the rest I would prefer not to say.

After six months of me not wanting to come forward, for many reasons including being scared and ashamed, I went to the police, and they closed the case due to lack of evidence.

Everyday I am reminded of all the horrible things that happened to me, I was naive and vulnerable, which makes me blame myself, I live next to these people and desperately want to escape from my family home, and try and better my life for my unborn child, partner and myself. I feel as though I cannot go into my garden without being anxious, scared and full of anger.

I am on the council waiting list, but they have said I will be waiting 3-4 years, which I understand and know that just because I have had these horrible experiences I do not deserve anymore help then the next, but still continually feel as though my housing situation is causing more and more problems.

I want to feel that I am in a safe environment, and start to become more stable with my mental health, it just feels impossible to do whilst being surrounded by the things which cause me the most pain.

Please do not leave any nasty comments
