#istillbelieveyou Recovery Program

Hello everyone. My name is Mykaela, and almost 12 weeks ago my life changed completely. For the last 4-5 months, I was being bullied and sexually harassed in my workplace. This was my dream job in my desired career choice so I kept my mouth shut. Which brings me to the night of February 11th 2018 I had tried ending my own life. What I was exposed to at work made me feel like I wasn’t good enough to live on this earth anymore. And for a moment of complete vulnerability, I had believed it. With the support from my family. I gained enough courage to report the behaviour to my workplace, however after investigations it was ruled “ there are many probabilities, however it is decided there is no case”. That statement alone broke my heart. I put forward 21 statements of detailed events I was exposed to, including diary entries and it still wasn’t good enough. Which brings me to the hashtag #istillbelieveyou - The man who did this to me is still in his perfect little office, being protected by his perfect worded lies. This person broke me down until I felt like I was worthless. And here he is still at work, earning his income and I have had no support from my employer what so ever. No check in to see how I’m going. No offer of attending a EAP. Absolutely nothing. It’s been almost 12 weeks and my savings have lasted me this far. But I have a long way to recovery. I can’t return back to my workplace because being in that environment would only bring me harm but my main focus is that I never get back to that rock bottom again. It broke down my family and friends. And seeing how much of an impact it had on others is enough to know my life is worth more than this. But I need to take the appropriate steps in order to heal. The last 3 months have been a blur. But what I’m asking for from the public is just a little help to get me back on my feet. My weekly bills alone are $345 and that doesn’t even include food. To anyone that knows me. I’m never a person to ask for help. My purpose in this life is to help others. To be that shoulder to cry on. But I’ve come to a point in my life where I need it. I need help and I’m accepting that it’s okay to ask for it. I have set up this go fund me page purely to help with my bills and it will buy me time to focus on my recovery back to a healthy mental state and help me fight against what I was exposed to. I’ve created the hashtag #istillbelieveyou because no person let alone a woman should feel like her voice is not heard. I am sticking up for my rights as an individual to show that person it’s not okay to treat others that way. If i can just plant the seed, later down the track it might help save someone else’s life. Yours truely Mykaela.
