I was r*ped in a psych ward
title says it all. I was there after a suicide attempt and I was outside smoking, this old man crept up behind me and locked my arms so I couldn't escape and did what he had to do and just left me there all alone afterwards. I told the nurses, they told me, "he's just an old man, what do you expect" which filled me with such rage. I haven't been able to feel safe whenever I'm outside again. it's been 2 years. will this ever go away?

i am so sorry this happened to you, love. You went through something so horrible and im sorry they invalidated your experience just like that. Ofcourse it only makes sense why you're scared and that's okay. Take your time to heal. Please stay safe. I hope things get better for you. Sending you hugs and support<3<3
@littlelamb111 That's so awful! You did nothing to deserve it. I agree with you that people must be held liable for their actions, regardless of their age.
thank you. but since we were in a psych ward and healthcare isn't the best here, all they told me was "he's just an old man, what do you expect" well thank you, I live in constant fear now! I wish I could've done something more.
@littlelamb111 I'm sorry this happened to you. I hope you are safe now.
