      I'm so glad that it went well for you. Take your time with the medication. Sometimes it takes weeks to see a difference.

      Thank you all for the encouragement during this journey.  It means a lot.   

  4. Every time I talk about the forum in therapy, my T tells me how grateful they are that I have this space.  :throb:

      That's great!  I think this site is a GODSEND and am so glad your T agrees.  So glad you're here and that we all have each other to lean on when needed.  Peace and health.  :throb: :peace:

  7. Hosted an event for Sexual Assault Awareness month at my school today!

      Awesome, wish some of the places I went to cared about awareness of this before :(

      It went well @Ian37.  I wish more people would have come to the event, but it was good overall.  We had an educator come from our local rape crisis center and she provided us with a good overview of the local sex crimes laws.  We also talked about consent and the myths surrounding sexual assault.  

      Thanks @Free2Fly.  I think some University's are getting a little better, but they still have a long way to go.  It seems like students have to be the ones to push for the school to do something.

      Yeah :( , no one ever know or noticed the way I behaved, to be fair back then everyone thought the world was fluffy and had rainbows :( .

  8. Happy International Women's day! :flowers:

  10. I share with you all my favorite MLK quote in honor of MLK day today. 

     “Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” 

    I hope someday we all get the justice we deserve.

  12. Glad to see AS was just getting an update.  I was worried how I was going to survive the semester without it.

      I'm glad AS is back online for everyone :) It was such a relief to see the page working again.

  13. It's been a hard year for most survivors, but I'm glad I at least had all of you.  Happy New Year Everyone. :loveas:

  15. First snow of the season today.  I want to curl up in bed with hot coco, but I have studying to do. 

  16. Really starting to run out of faith in humanity. 

    1. snmls

      snmls

      yes,  at least I know there are good people on this site. 

  17. Anyone struggling this thanksgiving, know that you are not alone.  I'm struggling too, but I am thankful to have this space to share with all of you.

  18. Got a chance to hear Gretchen Carlson, the woman who sued Rogar Alias for sexual assault in 2016, speak tonight.  Very empowering and much needed after the past few months.

  19. Every time I think victim blaming comments can't get any lower, someone always manages to prove me wrong.  If you've been following the news, you probably know what I'm talking about.

      @Karac I'm sorry to hear that you are being forced to live in survival mode, but making sure you are safe is the most important thing. 

      This is what I was talking about.  Trigger warning

  21. The "Me too" posts on Facebook got me feeling down.  It's reminding me how scared I still am to fully speak out.  I feel like I'm not helping.  :(

    1. fraidyfreida

      fraidyfreida

      You aren't alone.  I've been tempted to participate too, but I've been holding off. All my family is on fb, so I was thinking about sharing my story on twitter where I'm more anonymous, but the trolls are worse there...

      It feels like a good time because other people are sharing their stories, but I'm not quite ready myself. I've just been retweeting relevant stories and using the hashtag #metoo. Just be an ally to those who are brave enough, and trust that someday we will be strong enough to speak out too!

      i agree... i kind of resent the whole thing....

      like now its ok to say it when it wasnt before ?

      Thanks @fraidyfreida.  I post a lot of things about sexual assault on my facebook and I attend events in the city, but I still can't come out to a group of people and say that I was sexually assaulted.  I still feel too much shame.  I'm sorry you feel this way too.  But I know you are right, that we just have to do what we can until we are ready.  

      I'm sorry you are feeling the same way too @LuthienTinuviel

       

  22. The world's got me feeling down :(

      Your welcome :) 

  23. Volunteered at Philly's March to End Rape Culture yesterday.  It felt good to give back in that way.  

  24. Loving my new fidget cube! 

  25. Named how my parents have treated me as emotional abuse today in therapy.  :(
