Hi there, thank you for reaching out to us. This is very brave of you and I'm so sorry this happened. I think the most important thing to know and understand is that it's ok not to be ok! What you went through was a traumatic experience and some people never recover from the trauma. You're reaching out asking for support and that definitely means something.
Is there a trusted adult or friend you can speak to about this? While you can utilize TeenHelp and its numerous resources, it would also be helpful to talk to someone you know in real life, someone you can speak to face-to-face. You shouldn't have to bear the burden of your trauma alone.
On the other hand, I totally get how scary it can be to open up about something so incredibly serious and traumatizing. But, I think it will help knowing there are other people in your life that can provide support and guidance during this difficult time. 
I hope someone else comes along and offers you support as well. Feel free to reach out again if you need to. We're here.
