    Hey ellie,

    It's good to see you reaching out for support. Would you like to talk about anything? With regards to telling somebody you could if you wanted to, but that's totally up too you. It could help to talk things through with somebody who you trust, and feel comfortable talking too. 

    How are you feeling now? 

    Do you remember anything from the previous night? 

    Were here for you :heart:

    Just a heads up @ellie2000 that I moved this thread from Anything Goes to Health & Wellbeing, where it fits better and should be a bit more visible for others to respond to. I also added a trigger warning to the title of the post, just to make it clear what it's about.

    This is a horrific thing to go through :( you've done an incredibly brave thing to post about it here and hopefully we can help talk things through with you. As @BananaMonkey said, what you do next is completely up to you and what you're ready for. There's no right or wrong thing to do here.

    You can't legally consent to anything while you're drunk, much less if you're not conscious or aware of what's happening.

    If you wanted to go down the reporting route and inform the police, that's an option available to you. You can also talk to a service that specialises in sexual assault like Rape Crisis who, as well as being able to support you, can help you with reporting it if you want to do that.

    If you don't, though, that's okay and nobody's choice but yours. It can take a while to organise your feelings and decide what you want to do, so take this at your own pace. We're here to help talk things through as much as you need to.

    Again as @*BananaMonkey* said, do you remember anything from the previous night?

    When you say you felt bad, what did you feel bad about? Obviously it's understandable to feel bad given what happened to you - just keen to explore your meaning when you wrote this.

    I just want to emphasise that sharing this takes courage and you've done a great thing by posting about what happened. Let us know how you've been since you posted this. <3

    Sounds like "home" isnt home if you dont feel comfortable there. A home should be somewhere safe and comfortable. 

    You said some people dont extend their talk with you because you respond with shake of the head. They may be thinking you dont extend the talk too and can be hard to extend when not got much.- depending on what youre talking about i guess. 


    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Hello x

     It sounds like you have been through something really difficult and maybe things don't feel comfortable or safe anymore? <3 

    Have you been able to reach out to anyone else about this?, like rape crisis as @Mike mentioned in his reply, I understand it would be traumatic to relive what happened and talk about it,  but it could also be beneficial? 

    Sending love to you,

    Butterfly x
