The image contains a series of illustrations with text describing the emotional and psychological effects often experienced by people who have been abused. Each illustration is accompanied by a specific feeling or struggle:

• A person feeling like they're not enough.
• A person feeling vulnerable and afraid.
• A person struggling with nightmares and flashbacks.
• A person struggling to see the beauty in themselves.
• A person feeling numb when they normally wouldn't.
• A person struggling to put their guard down.
• A person feeling disconnected from their 'true self'.

At the bottom, there is a message: "Please be patient - the grief, trauma, and pain from abuse takes a lot of time and work to heal from." The image is credited to The Depression Project, with their logo, and the handle @RealDepressionProject.
