Hi I’m 19 and I’m new to this, it was suggested to me by a crisis worker. I was raped about two years ago and I never reported it.. I was too embarrassed. It was the summer going into my junior year of high school I was hanging out with a close friend and he had two other people there... to be honest I smoke marijuana it helps me with my depression and anxiety I am not abusing it or rely on it. One day I was with my friend and his friends and we were smoking.. he laced my bud without telling me even though he claims he did. I’ve only smoked never done any other drug before and anyone who has tried marijuana know it is not dangerous unless something like this happens.. that day I was raped twice.. I had no idea what was going on due to the drugs in my system which still to this day I do not know what I was laced with. In those moments I was so scared I couldn’t move in my head I was screaming but I wasn’t able to physically scream or run as much as I tried it was like my body shut down. I didn’t know what to do so the next day I confronted my friend about it and he claims he told me he laced it and when I told him that what happened wasn’t consensual he looked me dead in the eyes and told me I loved it that I enjoyed it.. ever since then I’ve been destroyed and I don’t know how to handle this I do not want to report it to the authorities I believe karma will get him in the end. I just need support from a friend that can help me when I feel worthless and helpless in moments like this.. all my friends left me due to my depression they said I’m selfish and only care about myself when they don’t even know happened... I’m just looking for advice from someone who knows what I’ve been through and understands or can relate

Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
It is really hard to be all alone with so much pain. It's good you came here where you can get support and know you're not alone. It is very hard to cope, much less heal, all on your own. The best thing would be to get counseling or therapy. I found a therapist by calling the hotline at RAINN.org. But even if you don't want therapy, you can call them and talk about what happened to you. They were so kind when I called, even though I was talking (and crying) about something that happened 40 years earlier.
Welcome.
