I have to get this off my mind?

A few months ago I was sexually assaulted by my “boyfriend” at the time. I struggled for a little while until I just laid there and stared at the ceiling until he was done. I was trying to fall asleep but I keep having flashbacks of that exact moment and it’s giving me anxiety attacks. Is anyone wanting to message for a few minutes?

  • Contact the professionals at the support-centers for rape-victims in your jurisdiction. They should have the training, experience, statistics, and know-how to help you recover. Here are some links for the U. S. & U. K.

    https://www.safeline.org.uk/what-we-do/support-groups/ (U. K.)

    With the right keywords (your jurisdiction + 'rape' + 'support groups'), you should be able to get the advice you need from professionals who know what they're doing.

    I hope you feel better soon. (And I hope the perpetrator will face justice in due time.)

    • Thank you, I appreciate it. Do you happen to know if they do any anonymous groups? So nobody else can find out you’re going there?

    • I'm not sure about the rest, but the U. S.'s R. A. I. N. N. mentions in the video (in 0:15- 0.18) of the 1st link mentions calls being anonymous. I'm guessing that that this is industry-standard, considering the nature of the problem, but it should hurt to check if you use other jurisdiction's sources.

  • I'm still up. DM me if you like. You need to find a good therapist who you like, trust, and who is helpful getting past your assault

  • What you went through was a rape. Whether he was a boyfriend, husband or stranger sex without consent is rape. Seek professional help talk to a counselor.

  • I am so sorry that happened to you

  • yea vent here, you'll have to accept it and be strong and accept its just something you experienced that makes you emotionally stronger

    • Thank you, I thought I was getting over it but my best friend told me she had sex with a guy and I don't know how, but I guess it triggered my anxiety attacks again.

    • i see, it just reminded you of it, when someone mentions sex, try picturing porn, maybe that would help, her talking about sex just makes you think of what happened so instead think of love, think of cupid, i know it sound stupid but what triggers these anxiety attacks seems to be the reminder of your experience, so maybe thinking of something else might help 🙂

    • I never thought of that. Tbh it could work, doesn’t hurt to give it a try I’m starting to get desperate lol. Thanks!
