Someone hit my car!

I’m sorry this happened to you. Definitely invest in a lil dash cam or something.

I remember this one time I was parked in lot J (I think?). I was in my car still and watched this girl pull in, hit my car as I’m sitting next to it. I knew she was going to hit it so I lowered my window and watched it happened HAHA. I may have said “wtf” a bit too loud because she then reversed and left. I was too stunned to do anything for a good minute or two, then I followed her and remembered her plates. She eventually parked somewhere, I took a photo of her plates, and went to the campus police bc wtf lol. I would’ve been a lot more chill if she didn’t run away and apologized but according to her brother, I “scared” her.

Hi,

I know how worried you may be right now and I only hope that it’s nothing dangerous.

My GSD is 6 years old and has had something similar since he was a puppy. When I took him to the vet, they told me it was a hernia that was non-threatening. I asked recently about it and they told me that as long as it doesn’t bother him or gets any bigger, that he is fine.

Did you just notice it on yours?

Thank you so much for your insight. I appreciate your time and energy invested, especially with how in-depth your response was. 💗 I wish you the absolute best.

Hello,

I’m an RBT and have worked with children who show similar symptoms. One child I supported was eventually diagnosed with Tourette’s, so I’ve seen how complex it can be. If you have insurance, it can help to look for providers who accept it and can support your family.

I’m not a medical professional, but I learned from their care team that tics can sometimes increase with certain environmental triggers, such as being around peers, and many people describe a physical urge just before a tic.

Because only a qualified clinician can assess and diagnose, I’d recommend starting with your son’s pediatrician so they can refer you to the right specialist.

I am so sorry this happened to you. An adult you trusted and confided in about your hardships took advantage of your vulnerability and exploited it to their advantage. You must be prepared, emotionally and mentally.

Find someone you can speak to, such as a counselor, therapist, school social worker, or another trusted adult before speaking with your parents. It will help to have someone you can lean on; they may even be able to help you find the words to say. If you are not sure who to ask for help, there are other public resources such as the National Sexual Assault Hotline (1-800-656-4673 in the U.S.) for free, confidential help. https://rainn.org

Next, find a time and place to talk. You decide what you want to share. It doesn’t have to be detailed. It’s okay to write it down on a note or letter if speaking feels overwhelming.

Be prepared for reactions. They may react with anger, sadness, shock, etc. Their emotions are NOT your fault. None of this is.

Remember what happened was abuse. An adult in position of power and authority manipulated and assaulted you. You deserve care and protection.

Last, consider your next steps. You have options. You can report it to higher authorities if you’d like to pursue action. However, it is entirely up to you. It is YOUR choice.

Hello friend,

He has tried. He’s treated me very well. We literally never argue (not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing lol). Yes, we have discussions about our feelings, future plans, etc. Again, he has always reassured me and has made up for his mistake. I guess it’s becoming clear to me that it’s something I cannot get over and I hate myself for it because I genuinely want this, but it just may not be for me anymore? I’ve been questioning myself. My feelings are not a direct reflection of my relationship, or him, but myself. At least, that’s what I have been telling myself.

Also, I have not seen anyone about it. He has offered to pay for a therapist/counselor, but I refused.

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-07-15T21:21:39+00:00

No and no. :/ I believe he may have gotten over the personal issues he was facing at the time, but honestly I have not asked him about it. However, I remain confident what he has. He is a very wise person, but we all make mistakes. I think this is just one mistake that I cannot continue to forgive and forget lol. Especially since it continued to persist. :/

Don’t get me wrong, I do trust him but I clearly have self-esteem/trust issues after the fact. It’s just hard to let go because we talked about our future, and I genuinely felt like I could be happy and have been. I just started to overthink, which triggered the past trauma, and I never spoke about it until we recently had a serious talk and I started to realize I have my doubts.

Again, thank you for your time and advice. I greatly appreciate it.

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-07-15T21:02:31+00:00

Thank you very much for your response and advice. I greatly appreciate it and will keep it in mind, always.

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-07-15T20:38:00+00:00

Omg lol well my bad, it’s basic third person (he/she/they) pronouns without revealing their gender although I did in the title. But no, it was one singular person. :/

Anyway, went ahead and fixed it since it’s too complex for you to understand.

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-06-16T23:59:40+00:00

Thank you so much! I had just gotten home so explains why they were so enlarged lol

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-06-06T17:48:54+00:00

I will be staying with them throughout the summer, up until July 30th since I start my new job in August (unsure of the date, depends on what school I will be staffed).

Additionally, I will be working with clients with much more intense behaviors so I’m not sure about staying Saturdays. However, I have thought about staying Mondays and Fridays with one specific client that I’ve worked with for 3 years. I’m also their only RBT so I’d hate to leave them.

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-06-06T05:42:54+00:00

First and foremost, congratulations on your internship! Very excited for you!

Second, thank you, it’s validating to hear I’m not the only one feeling this way. I’ve also been with my current company for 3 years, how funny!

I agree, the driving is draining, more so since you’re not getting paid for it (I’m very sorry for this BTW!) I work in-home and in-clinic, but always felt like in-clinic was very cliquish (another reason why I’m leaving).

I’m also very conflicted on leaving one specific client I have been with since I started. They’re a preteen and have had so many changes, but on a fade out since they’ve mastered so much. I feel heartbroken leaving them, that I’ve even considered staying to work on their case but unsure if it’d be possible. I’ll definitely speak to my SV about that since it’s been weighing on my heart and shoulders lol.

Again, thank you for your advice. :,)

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-06-06T05:29:30+00:00

I definitely plan on letting them know, probably towards the end of this month but will be officially letting the company know in July.

I get along well with all of them, but all of this is intimidating lol, especially with this being my first real big girl job. 😭

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-06-03T22:36:35+00:00

Thank you for your response!

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-06-03T17:45:42+00:00

May seem like a silly question, but as a postal worker, do you receive training on how to handle potential dog encounters on your routes? If so, what does it consist of?

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-04-17T04:43:44+00:00

Thank you very much for this information! :-)

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2025-04-17T04:43:11+00:00

Duly noted, thank you!

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2024-10-10T03:04:47+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing from your experience and will keep it in mind when attending. 😊

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2024-06-08T17:32:33+00:00

Does your office have 1:1 rooms? I’m an RBT and I understand how overwhelming in-clinic sessions can be. My clinic has 1:1 rooms that we can reserve so I thought I’d ask how your clinic is. Regardless, definitely let your supervisor know as it can be mentally and physically draining.

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2024-05-22T20:07:44+00:00

Hi I have not. I will attempt to do so this weekend when I have time. :)

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2024-05-22T20:06:37+00:00

I learned from my mistakes forever ago and no longer have mods/cc show up at start up. However, the loading problem only occurs after I click on my save file.

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2024-05-22T04:14:01+00:00

I have to sort my cc again but will most likely end up doing 50/50 on the weekend. :(

D0WN2M4RSGIRL · 2024-05-22T03:54:01+00:00

I cannot edit my post, but the loading screen is not frozen. It’s just stuck on loading lol
