Poppy's
story.

| About Libelulle |
|
My name is Poppy and I am a survivor of child molestation and two rapes. For years I kept these painful events a secret from everyone except very few trusted friends. Somehow I functioned very well for a very long time. I was considered successful and my social life was great.
There was a darker side to me, though – I was extremely sensitive and deeply sad, and I would go through bouts of depression. I honestly couldn’t figure out where these came from. I felt guilty for feeling depressed - I had everything one could wish for, so why was I unhappy? Why was I angry? I felt like such a fraud. Will people finally find me out for who I really am?
