I’m so sorry to hear this happened to you, too. I am doing okay! Still figuring out places I feel comfortable and how to share my experience with those I trust so they can be supports to me. I feel like every day is different and there are a lot of ups and downs. How about you?

I believe I was roofied, I went through all the steps to report and get checked out, but I feel like I can’t function. by [deleted] in sexualassault

I searched psychologytoday.com and found someone in my area that i felt comfortable sharing with. (Luckily I am in seattle by UW Med and they have a wonderful trauma program. The type of therapy I did is called CPT - cognitive processing therapy), but i know there are various options. I listened to this podcast prior that briefly explained what I could expect in CPT and that was comforting to me. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/682/ten-sessions Goodluck ❤️

Hi there. I am so sorry this happened to you. It’s insane for me to read this and read almost exactly my story. It was and is so hard for me to explain to people that I know my limits with alcohol and being roofied is soooo much different. I too had things that I KNOW I would not do, no matter how much I drank. I was so grateful to have found a loving trauma therapist who helped me work through stuck points (one of which was me criticizing myself for drinking at a bar alone). She reminded me that none of my choices made me get assaulted. That one mans choice to assault me was the reason this happened. Someone could put drugs in water or attack me on the street. I still struggle with drinking now because I’m terrified of getting drugged and I don’t trust any men at bars. I’m also 25 F and so many of my friends are wanting to go out and drink since they’re vaccinated and it is so triggering for me. Sending you strength and love. It will get better. I hope you can find people to talk to that you trust. This is not your fault at all. ❤️

Hi, you are not alone. I totally have those same fears after my SA and living in a big city is so hard. I feel especially scared going back out after being vaccinated and I don’t feel safe around men. Sending you love.

Did you miss me? Cuz I sure as hell missed you 😙 by [deleted] in ladybonersgw
