TRIGGER WARNING - RAPE

TRIGGER WARNING

RAPE

DO NOT READ ON IF EASILY TRIGGERED BY TOPIC

Alrighty so basically this is a very sore topic for me

Last year I was raped by a close friend of mine

He decided that alcohol was a good enough excuse (although he had sobbered up at the time very obviously and was using his prior drunk state as an excuse to not remember anything)

I just want to know, from people who have experienced this horrible thing and evem from people who havent and just want to help, what are some ways i can try and live a normal life without it haunting me

I love my job to bits but his mother works at the same location as me (not in the same area so i very rarely see her but still) and i would never quit my job, i am so passionate at it that it just isnt an option

Im currently in therapy for it but very early stages

I guess I just need some advice from people who have experienced it, i mean who knoes my therapist may have, she doesnt have to tell me everything about her but still, theres that wall

Im going crazy over here
