Story of my sexual assault.

...See more TW: Sexual Assault. Hello, my name is Sarah. I thought I come on here to share my story. One year ago today (Sept 1st 2020) I was sexually assault by an older man. I was just grabbing my takeout that was left in the lobby. There was a man waiting my the door to be left. At first, I thought he was just a resident so I let him in through the doors. We both go in the elevator to go to our floors. Suddenly, he started saying sexual things to me. I felt uncomfortable but didn't know what to do because I was stuck in a elevator with him. Then he started touching me and grabbed my butt. I panicked and didn't know what to do. When the doors opened to my floor I ran out. He followed me and saying that he could 'please me'. I felt so awful and ashamed. I didn't leave my place for days after that. I just felt dirty. I went from loving men to being afraid of them and I hate that. I felt like everything was my fault and all of my trauma is resurfacing. I want to regain my voice. It's just been hard. I jsut wanted to write it out to get it out.

...See more I feel so much better without social media. I would get anxious and exhausted about events going on around the world. I also compared myself to others which I need to learn hoe to stop.
