I've been sexually assaulted three times.

...See more Three times, three different men, three different situations. The first time was two years ago. I was 17 and a virgin. The second time was eleven months ago, and the last time was five months ago. I'm in therapy but it doesn't seem to help. I have triggers from all three incidents. I can't seem to deal with it at times, it just drags me down to the point where I'm so depressed that I don't want to do anything. I have social anxiety now, because of the assaults. I have an irrational fear of guys. I can't be physically close to a guy without having a panic attack. Even going to the store and passing a stranger in an aisle gets me anxious. I'm always looking over my shoulder.  I've been called damaged goods because of what's happened. I don't believe in sex before marriage, but that's out the window now. I've never been in a relationship. I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust a guy enough to open myself up to him and be able to be in a relationship and be intimate.  I'm so scared of guys now, it's sad.
