I was sexually assaulted in the summer of 2017 by my boyfriend's ex best friend/roommate. I was very drunk when it happened. I was disturbed so much I had a panic attack that night. But after that was over, I pushed it down and acted like nothing wrong happened and said nothing. Deep down I knew it was wrong, I couldn't just keep brushing it off. I told the other roommates and my boyfriend what happened. They all thought it was just a drunk mistake by the guy.
About a month later other drama that I won't get into here occurred and my boyfriend cut the friendship off and moved out. I found out the guy also sexually assaulted my friend and raped a girl in 2014. We all went to the police and made statements but they have done absolutely nothing. They claimed they could do nothing since it was a "he said, she said" type of deal.
Anyways, now it is February 2018, I have panic attacks whenever I talk about it, I have reoccurring nightmares about it, and I'm afraid to be alone with any male person besides my boyfriend, my brother, and father. I don't know what to do with all this anger and fear inside me. I'm looking for a therapist at the moment, I just thought I could get some advise from others on here before I see a professional.
