Sexual Assault My Story

[Blutarg]

yes, there's nothing special about me. If I can do it, anyone can.
I was 20 (now 38)
I didn't report him. Whether he has been caught since for doing similar to someone else, I don't know
No, I didn't tell a sole. I was diagnosed with PTSD about 7 years ago, which was the first time I spoke out, and asked for help. I only told my family in summer last year, and have finally found a good therapist, and I'm "ready" to talk, so I'm finally making positives moves forward.:D

I can relate to some of what you have said here and I am so glad that you can finally get on with your life although I know you have many hinderances at the moment but, hopefully, with time you will be able to manage things better and heal inside. I wish you well on your journey of healing because it seems that you are heading in the right direction. Link Removed

I haven't been on this site long, this is one of the first things I have read. It was intense, and difficult to read, but I could relate to many of the things in what you have written--the terror especially, and the fear of death, the terror of what is going to happen. It is completely vivid, not only in detail, but in emotion. Having gone through the process of writing myself, and the healing work that has to accompany it, I know how much work it is, how hard it is, how exhausting and painful and overwhelming it can be to write out what you have written here. It takes immense strength, courage, and exhausting work to not only survive but to put the pieces together and write it out. As painful as it is to read, it is truly inspiring in the sense that it comes clearly across how strong you are, how courageous you are, and what a true survivor you are. I don't know if you see that in your story, but it is as vivid to me as the terror and pain you felt was. I know you are going to have hard days when that is tough to believe... I find others' perception of me is often much different than I see myself, so it helps to have another perspective on things. That is how I see you. And it is really amazing to see. :cool:

Thank you for sharing your story.

Hugs if you want them,
Phoenix
