    Sexual Assault Is this assault?

    I did apologize originally when we both awkwardly apologize, but yeah we definitely both handled it roughly. I appreciate the call-in. I guess I'm just frustrated rn mainly bc she never told me any of the issues she was having and then when I asked her and talked to her in person, so nicely, she...

    Sexual Assault Is this assault?

    Thank you @lifeinthematrix I agree with that and so does my therapist (I didn’t at first). It’s not the first time she’s pressured me to do stuff either (stay out later, drink more than normal, pushing other boundaries). I’m glad she’s moving far away. Also as a weird update, she finally texted...

    Sexual Assault Is this assault?

    This whole thing...@Friday, can I buy you a coffee? Or pay for this therapy session? This makes so, so much sense to me. I definitely had to use to give into people who genuinely coerced me because I was going to be assaulted in other ways or it was just going to happen. I'm gonna bring this...

    Sexual Assault Is this assault?

    And I guess it made her feel that way too, but I don't know what to do about that if she doesn't want to talk to me, so I'll give it time I guess. I think maybe we bring out the worst of each other and are better as just roommates and not friends.

    Sexual Assault Is this assault?

    I guess that makes sense, it still made me feel the way assaults do, and I don't feel safe going out with her anymore either.

    Sexual Assault Is this assault?

    She was the one who ended up kissing me, she was touchy and weird, and we both weren't sober. I can get her side of it, I do, but asking someone over and over until you wear them down absolutely is coercion, or at least what I've been taught in therapy. I'm not used to being the DD for people...

    Sexual Assault Is this assault?

    Hi all. I need some outside advice from someone who doesn't know me for what to do, and if I was in the wrong or right. I think I'm sort of in the wrong, but also so is the other person. A few weeks ago, my roommate and I went out to a gay bar to go dancing and drinking. I was the DD so I had...

    Abilify insomnia and general rant

    thank you that helps so so much, I definitely was struggling. I was able to sleep after changing all my sheets, that tricked my brain a lot!! my roommate had suggested it for me, she has experience with animals having worms, also we have to isolate her for now because my roommate has cats, so...

    I also just am spending too much money. I took preventative measures but it’s so hard to stop.

    Abilify insomnia and general rant

    Well I think a day or two after this I started showing signs of mania. I have barely been sleeping but have tons of energy. Comboed with psychosis symptoms, seeing things. Tonight I went out to a charity concert thinking it would wear me out and I would sleep (I have so far slept two non...

    Abilify insomnia and general rant

    Hi thank you both!! I took it at night again last night and I slept sooo well so hopefully that continues. My doctor said I can’t take it in the AM which I get it’s very sedative. I think I was having a PTSD episode the other night bc I had awful symptoms. I feel way better today albeit very sleepy.

    Abilify insomnia and general rant

    Thank you @LittleBigFoot ! I'm on buspar at night so maybe we can up it for sleep. That was my first day o it and my first day tapering off Geodon too. I think I'm just freaking out because I've missed so much work and just feel like I'm failing at life (even though I'm doing a great job at work...

    Abilify insomnia and general rant

    Also all these med changes are upping my appetite so badly, I've gained over 30lbs since moving to this new state, I feel awful about myself and I know Abilify can add weight too which is scary to me because I can barely get myself to eat right, let alone eat at all (ED active--I either starve...

    Abilify insomnia and general rant

    Hi all! I was recently diagnosed with bipolar I with psychosis on top of CPTSD (which is mainly in remission but occasionally I have triggers, they just usually don't affect me too badly). My doctor is tapering off my Geodon that I've been on for years (hasn't been working, been having...
