How to press charges after being sexually assaulted.

i dont usually post on here so not exactly how to start. to make a long story short, i was sexually assaulted march 11 2023. i did end up filing a police report but didnt press charges because i was at the time scared of reliving that trauma & scared i'd be blamed for what happened to me. its 3 years later and ive been on & off in therapy and have been struggling so hard after what happened to me. its been hard to make any friend because im just scared of being sa'd again. i also feel like since i wasnt fully raped no one will take me seriously, especially since it's 3 years later. i do really want to press charges and possibly sue for emotional distress & damages as ive been affected financially from going into a deep depression/ suicidal state afterwards. i lost all my friends from isolating myself, ect. it was a really hard time for me and i still think about what happened daily. i guess i just dont where to start or how any of this works. i am 23 (f). any advice i'd appreciate it a lot.
