This blog post is about the episode 42 of Casualty which was shown tonight (21/07/2018).
I unfortunately was sexually assaulted when I was 19 years old and it pains me to write about it. The episode this blog post is relating to actually triggered me and has brought me to tears. I still blame myself for what happened to me back in 2014.
I didn't know what to do with myself. My sister got straight on the phone and called the police, she really supported me through it all and I can't thank her enough for her being there for me. Like Alicia, the character who was sexually assaulted in Casualty, I was also drunk but I didn't say yes or no, so I didn't know if it was rape or not.
Not only was I sexually assaulted/raped, I was also sexually groomed online at age 14 which i'm yet to speak out about. It's crippled me, even thinking about it now is making me cry so much right now. I'm yet to speak to my doctor about it and I will be going into therapy about it when I can get an appointment with a counsellor at my local Teamwork Trust.
I used to see a counsellor from the Kettering branch but I can't keep on seeing the same person, if anyone is local to Kettering and needs to see a counsellor, go and see Cathy at Teamwork Trust Kettering, she's amazing!!
I'm going to cut this short because I need to calm down. I can't wait for next weeks episode, I love Casualty!!
