Finally reaching out. Hello, all.

[GymRat1982]

Another newbie to the forum, seeking support, advice, and legal insight to my current situation which was very recent (3 weeks ago). I am currently on stress leave from work as a result, and am also in therapy. It has truly been a nightmare. Don't even know if I'll be celebrating Christmas this year as I'm just too upset. 

But I do look forward to getting to know everyone here and sharing in experiences that will hopefully help me through (as well as help others as well). Thank you and talk soon!

Hi Gym, welcome to AS. I am sorry for what you have through. Three weeks ago, I know everything is so raw for you right now. I am glad to se you are looking after yourself taking time off from work and into T. This is a safe place, with very supportive people. For me when I came here it felt good to know I wasn't alone and people understand me. We are here for you.

Thank you all very much. I'm actually at the police station now (submitting my report). I'm sure I'll be posting lots more either later tonight or tomorrow.

Welcome GymRat. I'm sorry for what brought you here. I hope it went okay at the police station

Hi everyone, thanks so much for the welcome. The police station went well. Was very nerve racking, and took almost 2 hours. But I did the videotaped statement, and answered all questions (the officers I dealt with -  both male  - were very nice and made me feel comfortable). Now I'm just deciding on when to press charges. Holding off for very specific reasons which I'll get into once I have enough posts to post in the "Share My Story" section. But I'm feeling better already.
