Re: Am I overreacting?

Sometimes it's just how someone touches me, or if someone is standing too close to me. Other times it's random words or phrases, and I'm going to start keeping track of them. Normally I just wait for the flashback feeling to go away and I might feel a little shakey afterward.

Re: Am I overreacting?

I can't recall much from that night because I have to admit that neither of us were completely sober. I'm afraid to tell anyone else because of the stigma. And I'm only 15.

Am I overreacting?

About a week ago, I was sexually assaulted by a man I don't know. It could have turned to rape, but he stopped pretty quickly because he didn't want to get caught (it was at a party). It's extremely hard to talk about, and I've only told one person. I keep getting flashbacks and I often feel unsafe....
