I was sexually assaulted.
I have been on my first solo trip in Australia for the last two weeks. It was going great; discovered that I really love meeting and getting to know new people. I did meet quite a few beautiful souls the last two weeks.
Last night, a guy I had met in a prior city forced me to have vaginal and anal sex with him. I say sexually assaulted because of the typical idea that I have a fault in it — I was drunk. I went with him. I should have escalated the situation to physical violence to get out. But I didn’t. Anyway, aside from feeling really violated and powerless, I am very disheartened with meeting new people now. I loved it. Now I am scared to try meeting others or to trust new people. I still have 5 more weeks of travel and I just feel really uncomfortable. Having to pay for tests out of pocket and going to the doctor alone is not helping.
I am making this post because I really just need hopeful words right now. This has been an amazing trip and I felt I had made growth in my relationship with myself but I feel like I just took 100 steps back and don’t know how to proceed forward.
