This is a great idea for a thread, thank you J.
I'm sorry you had that experience on the bus, that's horrible and I'm not surprised it has brought other things to the surface. I hope the intensity of the feelings decreases a bit soon. It was definitely not your fault or anything to do with you.
I'm sort of struggling with memories of abuse in general. I'm finding it hard to cope with because I'm still not safe enough to address it in therapy, but then it feels like I'm trying to hold it all by myself and like I'm stuck with it. I also (accidentally) found the facebook page of someone who raped me and it appears that they're quite successful and doing everything they want in life. And I'm stuck being 'ill' and it's just not fair.
