2 months post sa. ive got no clue what to do.
two months ago, i was assaulted in my car by my then-partner. we broke up the next day. i got away, but i still feel like they're looming over me.
we're classmates and i can't ever actually get away from them. i see them in hallways, in the elevators, on the streets around the building. it freaks me out.
i haven't felt safe on my own in ages. i have to have someone around me at all times. my best friend literally has taken to letting me drive her around to nowhere in particular so i can feel comfortable in my own car.
i have nightmares every night about being assaulted. therapy, melatonin, cigarettes have done nothing to help. i put off sleeping to avoid it. when i do sleep, i have to have a sleep mask on, a weighted blanket tucked under me, and asmr playing to have someone reassuring me im safe.
it feels stupid. i feel unmanly. i feel weak. i can't do anything anymore. it makes me feel like im drowning.
if anyone has any tips on moving on, on coping with this stuff, i'd really appreciate it.
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which explains why reactions are split That’s what changes the context. Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that friction is hard to ignore Interested to see the follow-up. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At this point, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place
At this point, the signal is clear, the strategy less so
At this point, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where it gets complicated At least from my perspective.
If you zoom out, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where people will push back Others will probably see it differently.
this solves one problem while creating another which explains why reactions are split Interested to see the follow-up. At least from my perspective.
Reaction: Me irl
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which is why this is getting picked apart This could age very differently in a week.
Reaction: Weird question, but was the person who come up with the term, "love handles" a chubby chaser?
From a practical angle, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that friction is hard to ignore Interested to see the follow-up. At least from my perspective.
Honestly, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s just how it reads to me.
the wording alone shifts how people read this which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what changes the context.

Trying to be fair, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s the impression it gives me.
From where I sit, the way this is presented changes how it lands Interested to see the follow-up.

From my side, this feels more about execution than intent Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Honestly, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which explains why reactions are split Time will tell. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Reaction: That's a real one
Bluntly speaking, the wording alone shifts how people read this That’s the key detail here. Let’s see what happens next.
