Numb
Trigger Warning: Mentions of University, police, courts, victim blaming, sadness and numbness
No graphics.
In my previous threads some months back, I had mentioned about my emotions regarding stalking and eventually rape by strangers right before the pandemic. I took a break from cups because I was too much involved into filing my case in Court and getting myself protected at my University for the rest of my studies' duration. Because now after the pandemic everything is reopening so, for my safety and physical and mental well being taking some action was really needed. I am yet fighting for this and I hear a lot of things about me some being that I am lying, I am insane, attention seeker or I have some ulterior motives...
I nearly ignored these baseless thoughts of people and went ahead with everything I could. But this month on 10th, somebody different sexually assaulted or maybe raped me. While this was happening I got a lot of flashbacks and struggled to free myself, said 'no' continuously, I was shivering and I was feeling suffocation. Because I wasn't able to save myself and had previous baseless statements in my subconscious, I recorded some part of assault. So now atleast nobody can say I am lying. But I am never going to do anything about this because I already have a similar case in which I am taking a legal recourse and this person is an acquaintance so I can in future stay away from him. I don't know I am not feeling much emotions about this particular assault. Am I used to getting hurt or is my body and mind still in shock I really don't know.
I haven't even cried about this and I am not feeling angry or sad...sometimes I feel disgusted but it fades away...
Hello @energeticThinker3129
My name is FrenchMarbles, it’s really good to meet you, I’m one of the listeners here at 7Cups.
I hope you win this case, that is disgusting that you have to deal with this almost on a regular basis. This has to stop, how is this fair for you?! I am glad you took a break from Cups because dealing with Cups and real life, it can drain you so by focusing on your case and getting that processed, was probably the best thing you could do.
Even if nobody believes you, I do
Best wishes

Hello FrenchMarbles, thank you for reading my post and supporting me by your kind words ❤ Things took a pleasant turn in early June when I confided in my dad both of the incidents and surprisingly I got his support. I am feeling better that way, emotional scars are there and some physical too hoping them to get slightly easier for me. Thank you for believing me ❤
@energeticThinker3129 We will always believe in you. I am so glad to hear your father supports you. <3
