Another Sexual Assault, Scared
Trauma Support / by Lunar06
Last post
October 6th, 2020
...See more I have been sexually assaulted in the past and have been to therapy which has helped a lot but I recently found out new information. My boyfriend recently told me that one guy I used to be friends with assaulted me. I was skeptical at first because I had no recollection of this but the guy that did it has been messaging my boyfriend and threatening to assault me again if he doesn't get money from my boyfriend because he knows where I live even after me moving. My boyfriend told me that the guy drugged me, took pictures of me and took a video of him assaulting me and he even sent it to my boyfriend as proof. My boyfriend confirmed that it was me. I don't know what to think because this is completely new to me and I haven't been able to cope with it because since my boyfriend knew about it first, it was kinda just brushed aside when I found out. My boyfriend did contact the police and told them everything but I still feel numb. I'm paranoid about the guy knowing where I live and I feel like I worked so hard to cope with my past assaults for nothing because I'm starting all over again. I also feel very hurt because I thought the guy that did it was my friend and I even opened up to him about my past traumas and he comforted me. I don't know if I can trust anyone anymore.
Processing sexual assault

...See more I have been feeling like I want to share my story of my trauma with people close to me. There are some people in my life who I have shared certain things with, but not everything. The problem is, I feel like sharing this seems like I'm looking for attention. I'm not sure why I want to tell people or what I think I'll get out of it. I daydream about hypothetical conversations where I'm telling people what happened to me but that never actually happens. Out of the few people that I have shared my story with, only one person was supportive and didn't question me or attempt to blame me for what happened to me. I also don't know how I would bring it up in a conversation and I'm scared that if I tell someone, I'll start crying and I don't want to do that. So I just end up not saying anything and dealing with it by myself.
Long distance relationship help
Relationship Stress / by Lunar06

...See more I have been dating my long distance boyfriend for a little over 6 months. He has lived through pretty severe trauma and abuse and he has poor mental health because of that. I'm worried about if he will ever recover from his past and let go of his fear of rejection and insecurity. He has to know where I am at all times and who I'm with, and we sleep while on the phone together every night. I feel like I don't have freedom to do what I want and I usually ask permission to go to anywhere, even to the grocery store. Sometimes when he's stressed he gets very angry and threatens to hurt himself and I have a hard time calming him down. It stresses me out and gives me anxiety about his safety. I don't know if I should stay with him and keep trying to help him or if I should break up with him so I can be less stressed and happier.
