Hi everyone… I just feel so stuck and don’t know what to do and guess I just need a place to vent…. I saw my psychiatrist and therapist yesterday and they both brought up the idea of me possiblyneeding more intensive treatment for my depression… possibly an outpatient or maybe even inpatient...
Hi everyone - my dr just had me write a letter to the guy who sexually assaulted me (not actually sending it )and now I’m feeling all kinds of guilt for placing the blame on him and being so hard on him … has this happened to anyone else??here it is -
“Why did you do it? Why couldn’t you have...
Yeah that’s true I guess it’s also partly me feeling alone in this whole thing but I’m sure Like you said he hears it all... I just don’t want him to be offended or something because I really value him as a doctor
thank you so much. I just started seeing a trauma therapist but my psychiatrist(who I have seen before the trauma happened) has been surprisingly helpful with the little bit I have told him and has told me I can tell him as little or as much as I feel comfortable... I just wasn’t sure exactly...
Hi- I’m trying to figure out How to go about “wording” what happened during my SA to my psychiatrist who I really trust and has been the most helpful through all of this but don’t want to make it awkward for him... I’m going to send him an email with what happened(I can’t seem to get the words...
I definitely relate to this... I feel like for me it’s a way to kind of not feel so alone watching tv shows or documentaries involving SA... I always felt really embarrassed by that and felt like no one would understand
Yeah I agree I think It’s just easier thinking he didn’t know or putting the blame on myself for some reason... I guess that’s part of the guilt. And I will look into them thank you!
Thank you so much for this! Yes I definitely had the thought that this could turn into something a lot worse if I don’t do what he wants and was even paranoid he would try to follow me home and actually rape me so I drove the opposite direction of my house when we left to make sure that didn’t...
Thank you, yeah I have told a few select people but just don’t like to burden them with bringing it up all the time... I have depression and anxiety already so I see a psychiatrist who’s been helpful.... but yea I’m safe now and haven't had any contact with him since
Yeah it was a first date....Luckily I went the day after to the hospital and got antibiotics and all that
In the beginning (before this incident) the goal was it would lead to a relationship- we had been texting a while before this and had discussed expectations and all that... however after...
