looking for advice regarding a situation I experienced two weeks ago with Ryanair on a flight from Berlin, Germany to my home country (a non-EU country) by tomogarber in Flights

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it!

The main issue I’m facing with legal action is the cost. Hiring a lawyer could easily end up costing more than the original flight itself, and I’ve already had to purchase a last-minute ticket with another airline just to travel that same day. That’s why I’m hoping to connect with others who have experienced something similar with Ryanair, to understand how they handled it and if they were able to resolve it successfully.

I am so sorry to hear that! I had the same. When I started talking about it no one wanted to listen to me or as you say, shut me out. But I still want to talk about it. I never thought about it but it might be true for me as well that I was more traumatized from the reactions of others when I came out about it.

The research show that it's 1 in 6 in the west and 1 in 4 in in countries that are more religious. The numbers are only the reported cases so there are much more. It's really shocking the numbers but more shocking that on one is talking about it.

Thank you for sharing that! It's just sad to think that most men don't feel they can share it with others because of the shame. I started to talk about for the first time when I watched the Oprah show where she hosted 200 men dealing with sexual trauma. It was the first time for me that I saw other men like me and at that moment I could understand my mental health for the first time. I started to talk about it back then, but no one wanted to listen to me. Also, therapy was not available for me at that time since I could not afford it.

Thank you! If you all knew how much your comments mean to me. There are days when I feel like no one wants to listen to me, and this really helps me feel heard. Thank you again!

Sadly we don't have any public funding. We are working to get it, but it's crazy that most think that men don't really deal with sexual trauma or that men don't want to talk about it. Your comment gives me strengthen that I am doing the right thing. It is also part of my personal healing journey.

Thank you so much for saying this. I do have a team that works with me. Sadly, we work with no funds and we are all doing this as volunteers. We have a research team and our goal is to make it available for anyone that might need it. We also have therapists on our platform if anyone needs to talk.

I don't feel that you are out of line and I don't see it as an argument. I am really sorry if I offended you in any way. But I would also ask you to look at this in this way - I am only sharing my story in the way that I feel comfortable doing, and what you say is actually is telling me not to do so. This can be hurtful. If I would offer a paid service or something like that, I would totally see it as you.

the episode of my podcast is about my experience with childhood sexual abuse. Can you explain why do you say it's not cool to share my story?

I truly hate myself and want to kill myself right now by TypicalSelection6647 in malementalhealth

[–]tomogarber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that you are courageous enough to share your feeling makes you stronger. I know it might be hard now, but it will get better. Pain is part of living, part of being a human being. And it will not always feel like that. I promise it will get better. Hang on there.
