Really worried . Last night i was sexually assaulted , called the police and been there all night. Got sent home after all the first contact type stuff an the swabs but now i got to go back and be interviewed on video and i'm terrified :( . .
It's good that you told the police straight away. Don't be scared, you did the right thing and hopefully be able to catch who did it to you and then they won't be able do it to anyone else. You were very brave to go through the swabs and everything that soon after it happened!
I don't know what else to say really, but feel free to PM me any time.
The police are going to do the best that they can to find whoever did this to you, and you aren't to blame for anything.

I know who it was. It was a house "mate" he's been arrested. He's been in there since the early hours of this morning. They are interviewing him as we speak . . . I've got to go in at 6pm tonight . . Just worried that they might think i'm lying. They took the swabs but i had had a shower so they dont know if i washed the evidence away. I'm so worried and scared and anxious now . Before when i was there this morn i hadn't slept so it was a bit surreal , but now its sunk in and its horrible. I cant distract myself. It runnin around my head in circles . .
they should be used to people having showers before the swabs, it's a very common reaction. Granted it may have washed some stuff away, but hopefully that will not matter
He's been bailed now . He has bail conditions which are not to come to crownhill , not to contact me directly or indirectly and he's got to get some alternative accomodation while this is in progress. . I've not got to go for interview until tomorrow so still panicing but just got to bear it. Got my boyfriend staying over and can now go home as my room is not a crime scene any more :) i feel really ill now cuz of it feel sick when i think of it . And just cant stop thinkin about it :(

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'"
You are so brave, I wish I had the courage to go to the police.
It's my number one regret.
It's totally understandable that you're scared but you're doing the right thing

Thanks guys your replys mean so much to me at this time :) feeling a bit better now. Had a really good shower feel a bit fresher. Not 100percent but better anyway :) got to go at 12midday tomorrow for the interview now instead of tonight because they thought i need to rest as i was up all night . . The guy's mum came and collected a load of his stuff tonight so we know we wont be seeing him afterwards and i think i'm going to put my name down on the list for councilling . . Which is something i'd never normally do. . This has got me quite badly. But just to the people who ever have to go through this or have been. Reporting it is the best thing . Its so hard to make that initial call but once its done and you know that person cant hurt u again it feels great. Also if any one wants to know what sort of things they do or say i dont mine sharing my experience at the police station as they have been fab x
So i went to the police station today. . . And was interviewed. . Wasn't as bad as i thought it was goin to be. . But the lady officer was really nice:)
i'm so sorry this happened. i think it's amazing you were able to report it. it's so much better to deal with it now than to wait and bottle it up. not that that takes away the pain at all. but i think with anything the sooner you get support for something traumatic the better. we're here for you for whatever you do or don't want to talk about.
Thanks hun , its wierd, its almost feels that it never happened. My brain some how has blocked it quite well unless i'm asked about it and then its a bit horrid, but there is a strange feeling in my body. Thats only been there since it happened . . i'm not sure if my brain blocking it out is a normal reaction to something like this ,

I think its normal (not sure what happened... but I've been told with what's happened with me...) that your mind tries to block it out in order to protect yourself. hope you're OK <3

Yeah I think it is pretty normal. Your mind might not be ready to process it all yet. I do think its good you're going to counseling as that might help you be able to deal with it without blocking it out forever but also without being more overwhelmed with memories than you have to. Remember there's no right or wrong way to feel.
I just wanted to say well done for reporting it to the police, you did really well and made the right decision. If you ever want to talk about your experiences, feel free to contact me, I made a report back in august last year and am still going through the police case, and my hubby is a PC who's taking a SOLO course this year. Again, well done.
