    • About Me

      this is the first online thing i have tried for this. i'm not really sure what to expect or if i'm writing the correct information. i am 23 year old female graduate student and teacher. i have done plenty of counseling (never sexual abuse specific), but it does not help me. i have been through 5 counselors and none helped (but to be fair, i only told two of them my sexual abuse history). i have also been on medication which didn't help. therefore i am trying other ways of seeking help such as this site. briefly, i will describe what brings me here: i was abused when i was a child, and as a result i began acting in a very inappropriate manner that caused other incidences. for example, getting naked (by choice) at a party 2 years ago caused a group of men to drug me and place objects and themselves inside of me. 8 years ago (at 15), i got too drunk and woke up to someone having sex with me. that is how i met him, and i ended up dating him for a short while. likewise, flirtatious behavior at a few months ago caused one man to hold me down and force his penis in my mouth. i unfortunately decided to bite, which caused him to then bite my nipple and try to force himself on me (i was very lucky in this situation -- he got scared away when someone came into the room). while i know that nothing excuses the behavior of the men in these situations, i am also fully aware that it was my behavior that caused the situations. i am not an "innocent victim." to make matters worse, i never reported any of these. i never reported the sexual abuse as a child (i even kept my mouth shut when he was reported by my cousin, who was also being abused by him), and i never got a rape kit done. i'm not honestly sure what affects me more: the childhood abuse or the things that have happened since because of my own stupidity. over the last 8 years, i have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. i do not put much stock into these diagnoses because i sort of think this is all crap.

      I think that being honest to yourself about your preferred methods of escape and opening up (e.g., to us) about them is *so* important.
