I know I haven't been on here as often as I normally am. A lot has happened. I will talk about that in another post at a later date. The main thing is how triggered I am.
On Friday at work I was molested by a trucker at the event I was working. There came a point where he had the opportunity to push me into his truck, I don't know how that didn't happen - I don't know what I did to prevent it. He ended up touching up my thighs, then went for my crotch. After it all happened I went to my car and called my boss crying. I told her what happened, she told me to go get his license plate, talk to the gas station owners, and call the police then to call her back after.
I took the picture, and told workers at the station - they went to go talk to the guy who was still hanging around inside. I wasn't going to call the police, didn't want to be let down again. I went back outside and went back to working my event, the trucker approached me while I was talking to someone else and I told him to leave me alone or I was calling the police. One of the workers somehow got him away from me, can't remember what he did or said exactly. Then I went back to my event table and the trucker kept trying to talk to me, kept calling me "sister", asked what he could do after I said I was going to call the police. He left.
I called the police, they ended up pulling him over and arresting him on the side of the road. I went to the police station and did my video statement. Talked to the victim services while there. Found out his court date was going to be this past Saturday to find out what was going to happen. I called on Monday morning and got the results of the court date. He was charged with sexual assault, and released with a promise to appear in court. His first appearance date was set, then from there it gets sent to trial I guess.
My boss sat me down today and said she was going to go pick up a copy of the surveillance video that caught the whole incident. I'm really upset by this. Really upset that she is getting a copy of it.
I've been really triggered since then. I went through the rest of Friday in a blur. Emailed my T while I was at the police station still, called my nurse practitioner and went to see her. Cried in her office and was shaking. She booked me in with the social worker yesterday. I went and talked with the social worker, she's now texting with me. I told her I was concerned that there was potential for me to abuse the texting and I was concerned about it and not knowing when was too much and when was acceptable. The social worker said she would let me know if she thought it was becoming too much and it needed to be dialled back.
I have not been ok. I am so upset, triggered, going through my day not knowing where time has gone. I'm really struggling.
