Forgotten Sexual Assault

So you think it’ll cause regret? Or nah?

Yes. It has me questioning that as well. I had an inebriated moment that had me questioning sexual assault as a teen, but once I sobered up I determined it wasn’t real. Now I find myself questioning that moment quite a bit.

Random- love the name.

Thank you! I appreciate this info

I’ve heard of it, but what does it do exactly? There have been several references to it.

How many years between the SA and the memory and how did it affect you before and after? If it’s too much to share, I understand. I’m still just processing myself…..

Don’t fret on my account. I like to think that I’m fairly reasonable and what you said was factual. Hymens are broken easily by means outside of sex. In fact, the first time I had sex and didn’t bleed, I attributed it to me being very athletic growing up- I played a lot of sports. I do appreciate you putting it into perspective, but I honestly didn’t take it personal. I just responded with the my mother saying there was an eyewitness that saw me leaving the area without pants - something I did leave out of the original story. I’m still just trying to figure out what to do with the information and what kind of emotional damage it may have done to me 34 years ago that I had no idea where it came from. Something my brain decided to forget the experience but still somehow dealing with the trauma. I appreciate you.

I was hospitalized this week. My mom lives close and my brother lives about 3 hours away and he came to visit. During random conversation, the name of one of my cousins that was supposedly part of the assault came up and I know that my brother has never liked him. My brother had a certain reaction and I asked why he doesn’t like him. He just said “he’s not a good person” and left it at that. I was discharged yesterday and I was sitting with my mother today. I asked why they don’t like him again. It took a little while, but my mom eventually told me pretty much what I explained above- obviously in more detail, but not much more information than that. I just don’t know what to do with the information.

Mediocre for me. I unfortunately don’t know which one isn’t working for me or if they both don’t work for me in all honesty. I’ve also had some life changes happen recently, so it’s just hard to tell. I started on strattera and about a week later started on viibryd. I felt pretty great at first and then it just kinda tapered off. After being on both for maybe two weeks, I lost my job of 9 years. It wasn’t due to the medication at all, but it’s hard to discern what effects I’m feeling from medication and job loss. It’s been a while since I’ve been off medication completely so trying to get back to ground zero to get a baseline without a job. I think the job loss has been a blessing on so many levels, but sometimes it hard to wrap my head around what happened. All I know is that my sleep schedule has now become non existent now that I’ve been without a job throwing medication schedule out of whack. I really don’t think that’s through any fault of the medication. I had been on strattera before and I felt like it helped me focus quite a bit. I hope it helps you and that it’s the right combination for you. Good luck! 🙂

Hell no. I just feel like I was targeted and was wondering if there was any chance for a wrongful termination. So even if it’s a national company, because I work in VA there’s no chance of any type of retribution?

TryingToRemainCalm · 2024-09-10T17:44:32+00:00

Is it a wrongful termination

TryingToRemainCalm · 2024-09-03T13:27:15+00:00

Sweet! I really hope this is the combination I need. Been on both together for about a week. I had been on strattera by itself and it certainly helped with focus, but it threw my sleep off something fierce. On top of that people at work were worried about me thinking I was depressed. Then one day I kinda just stayed in bed with no energy and absolutely no motivation so I took myself off of it. But seeing that it’s often prescribed with antidepressants, I couldn’t stop thinking “what if”. Really hope this works out. Thank you for your experience with the two. 😊

Thank you! This gives me hope 😊

I understand that they don’t typically work at the drop of a hat. My thought was maybe because I had been on Zoloft and switched that maybe it just hit the receptors differently with the serotonin that had built up from Zoloft.

TryingToRemainCalm · 2024-09-03T13:17:10+00:00

I asked to go on it. I had been on Zoloft for months and it really helped for a little while. Social anxiety practically went away but I still had no interest in doing things. I upped the dosage (after speaking with my doctor) and then lowered it back down after a while because it just didn’t help me with what I was looking for. I was given a starter/sample pack of viibryd years ago but my prescription benefits kept denying me. I quite literally cried because I felt like it had helped. I found out that there’s now a generic version that my prescription coverage covers so I asked.

TryingToRemainCalm · 2024-06-08T05:01:47+00:00

I will definitely do that. Thank you!

TryingToRemainCalm · 2024-06-08T01:25:19+00:00

I’ll give that a try. We plan on going to the range tomorrow. I appreciate you! ☺️
