Sufferer Still Trying To Recover 3 Years Later ....

[LifeInterrupted]

I was physically/sexually assaulted by someone I was out on a first date with. Never saw it coming, the crazy, intense 360 change in his personality ..... Flashbacks still haunt and I still run from them. Some are just so intense and I don't know how to safely process them even today. I have been experiencing a very intense anger over the last 3 years that scares me. Thank God for stepping in and saving me b/c if I could have got my hands on the people who purposefully pushed my buttons for their amusement ... I've also been on the other end of the spectrum at the very bottom of depression and despair. Just wanted out and almost succeeded. Anyway ... I'm new here. Wish I had found out about this site in the 1st few weeks afterward.... But I'm here now ... I'm hoping it will help!

Welcome to the forum. Do you have a therapist? If you don't, it would be best to get one, to help you understand what is going on and help you through the process of healing. There are a lot of great posts and a lot of good people here, you are sure to find the help you are seeking. Be well.

I do have a therapist .. but my life has been turned upside down by a recent death and other serious stressors prior to that .... so discussions of what happened to me have been put on the back burner in order to get through what's happening now. Thank you for your reply

I am sorry to hear that has happened to you. It is very hard trying to recover from loss like that, and it's not an easy process, I can understand what you are going through. I've done a lot of digging since I joined (fairly recently actually), and I am never at a loss of finding forums that seem to be "just what I need", I encourage you to do the same.

Welcome to the forums :hug: I hope this spot helps you. It's extremely valuable as a result of the mass measure of individuals who feel comparative and understand eachother. There is a great deal of counsel and backing to be found here :) I trust this stunning group helps you as much as it helped me, reading all the similar stories, and taking in a lot of support along the way. Hugs in the event that you accept :hug:
