My mom is actually typically really nice, I think it’s just really hard for her to see me like this. It’s not something she understands and so I guess in these situations it comes off in anger. She only really does this with these kinds of situations. So yeah, only really in situations that upset he...

So right now might not be a terrible time for an update even if it doesn't necessarily pertain to sex/sexuality.. Things lately have taken a pretty drastic turn for the worse mental health wise with everything going on, after a while of having a break from my stalker, they came back to school and so...

I’m so sorry because I just realized this was in the ask us and didn’t even clue in, can’t delete my post really, I apologize. It didn’t really come up as being in this section or maybe I just didn’t realize until I looked at my laptop. I really didn’t even know you could post in sections such as th...

I just want to chime in here a little, in your post you mentioned this "I know that for LGBTQ+ people it can be very annoying and almost disrespectful when a straight girl crashes into a gay club and tries to make out with girls so I’m wary of that." and I just want to say, typically, peop...

I definitely agree with the fact that there is a lot of gaslighting and that it involves that undefined degree of how you put it "badness". It's definitely not an easy thing for me to be doing but I realised it's something even my best friend struggles to define for herself even though to ...

Thank you so much for all the support, to everyone.

Honestly telling my mom really seems like a lot at the moment and I think that will take time for me, I can live with her not understanding.. She's scared for me, like the thought that I'm going across the city each day to a place where I've been threatened and stalked and someone could very well ta...

I think it’s so nice you are supporting and wanting to protect these students. It’s really disgusting to hear this man, especially being in an authority position has been harassing students. At my school what we’ve done to get attention shown to one of the students (so a little different than a prof...

Okay yeah, I read through that article and I don’t think I want to consider what happened as losing my virginity, I’d much rather be able to say I lost that with someone who I trust and and comfortable with in my life. I also want to consider it the first time I have sex, not when I went through wha...

It’s completely okay that you used the word trauma as yes, all of what happened was and is extremely traumatic for me. Mainly I mean with that using terms such as sexual assault/abuse just because those scare me a little and I find myself concerned that maybe it would be the wrong word to use in my ...

Right now a lot of this is just exploring what exactly to call what happened to me, there were a few different ways I’ve been told I could or different ways everyone has described it but I don’t want to be wrong, if that makes sense. And I know that’s something you already touched on, words have alw...

Okay, yeah I'm sorry I misinterpreted some of that, and I'm really glad to hear that I did misinterpret the date and that they meant no harm. You do seem to have a lot going well around you and I'm glad you appreciated what I said, sometimes it's a little harder to do that just because I have no exp...

Hi, I just wanted to post a bit of an update and hopefully that's okay. Thank you horriblegoose (btw your username always makes me smile looking at it I just always remember this amazing time when during a cross country race this Canadian Goose and these geese are vicious just so you know, chased th...

Thank you for explaining that it if anything just brings some comfort in knowing that it's both extremely common as well as a way I might have been processing it. What you said also gives me some context as to why I did those things. I was told a lot both during the acts as well as before and after ...

Thank you very much, I'll definitely keep what you said in mind as far as backing off for a while.. And that's awesome to hear what I said might actually have been good advice haha. I'll definitely try some of the tools you mentioned such as getting to know my body a little more although I don't kno...

I tried to explain it to my mom that way before, and sadly didn't go over all that well, she just sees it as putting chemicals into my brain and thinks I just need to let it pass. Not much I think I can do there especially when bringing it up just causes a fight. I'll definitely look into some of th...

My mom was originally against therapy because she thought I was doing well, she was one of the people that looked at my grades and my sports and thought that nothing could be bothering me, finally I told her a little about what happened to me and she has been able to see that I'm struggling with it,...

My therapist is not someone who specializes in that area, I had that option but I also wanted to enter therapy for a number of other reasons and for me, this was the best option because my mom was originally very against it. With my situation I was also and am still being stalked and dealing with a ...

Hi, I'm probably not the most educated person to be answering/responding to any of this but maybe something I can say can help? The things you have mentioned have been things my friend group and I have been discussing quite a bit lately, both about myself and another one of the people in the group. ...

Thank you for responding Al. As far as the threats I do actually have authorities involved, at the moment that investigation is a little complicated because the threats were coming from two private instagram accounts without any identifying information publicly viewable. They have to file a lot of p...

I know this post is a little old, but I had this problem before with getting my binders. For a long time my mom viewed it as a really stupid item and refused to let me have one, and honestly it took a really long time, which probably isn't what you want to hear. It wasn't even that she was more open...

Hi.. I've been really struggling with this for a while and I guess I just need some help or advice, or I don't really even know, maybe it'll just help to be able to write it out. Please know that I'm going to describe whatsWhat's happened to me. This all started quite a long time ago I was ten at th...
