I always felt I was forcing people to hear me. No one in that university would listen to me unless I called the police. They’d send someone in to talk to me, every time. Police themselves never could figure out how to get in. Literally couldn’t find the door. Feels like a metaphor. The other person turned out to be my boss. She listened then and then moved away and stopped texting back. I was trying so hard not to talk about myself.
And to top it all off. The therapist I got help from. The one the university made me see. Just another piece of shit.
I keep being afraid I did this. There’s some reason no one was taking me seriously. My sorority at the time told me I wasn’t allowed to be in the common room with them because they felt I was there too much. Three people said it, anyway. I mentioned it to someone else and she seemed surprised.
I almost feel better that someone else here had a therapist try to sleep with them. I thought I did something wrong. Maybe me not feeling negatively-special is wrong.
I did see a friend and hang out watching cartoons for a while. I told him I’d be back. He wants me to come back.
I’m just worried. I haven’t had a problem before now but I am terrified he’ll accidentally say a triggering word and I’ll change. Think I’m someone else. It won’t happen though.
I am craving those pills I took. They reduced the fear so fast. Not a healthy way to take them, though. I’ll have a chance again in my future. Every surgery comes with them. It’s been four year since it happened — one day I’ll be excited when it stops.
You were never the bad guy in any of that. You were the victim. Over and over -- you were surrounded by horrible people doing things that never should have happened to you.
You are not the bad guy
You are not to blame
Never. Ever.
