lost and scared
I saw my therapist yesterday, he made me say my abusers names, and that scared me. But that is just a part of it.
Last Sunday one of my abusers attacked me, at work no less. I work at a museum, and I sit where I can be seen from the admission area, I saw him, didn't think he saw me, I went back into the back hall to compose myself, no big deal right? Well when I turned around he was there, he shoved me up against the wall grabbed me, you know where, and started saying some vulgar things to me, then he hit me a few times, of course not in the face or anywhere where it would be visible, he hit my in the stomach and groin, and kicked me in the back. I am too scared to go to the police, too scared to even tell my boss and let the security where I work know.
I guess it didn't do too much damage, just scared me, so I feel lost and scared. Maybe I should tell my boss, maybe I should inform the police, maybe I should just forget it, I don't know what to do or think. I wish I had the guts to tell someone, I told my therapist I saw him, but I didn't tell him what he did to me, I guess I was scared he would try to pressure me into going to the police and getting and restraining order, he has talked about it before.
I just don't know what to think or do, I wish I could cry, I wish I could just fall apart for awhile, but I don't have that luxury. I have DID, and I have barely been myself all week, I have lost all week, I have lost the courage I thought I had regained, I have lost myself, I don't even know who I am since it happened.
After it happened, it was the first time I have ever cut myself at work, cutting is a not so good way I have of coping, I have never fallen apart so much to do it at work before, I nearly had to get stitches for a couple of the damn cuts. I haven't been able to eat more than a couple of bites since it happened, I have been in a total daze, I just can't handle this stuff.
On top of all that, I get an e-mail from a friend saying he never trusted me, that he thinks I am a sick psychotic freak, and I don't even know what I did to bring this on, this guy isn't vindictive and doesn't hold grudges, so I don't know what I could possibly have done to bring this on, maybe on of my damn 'others' did something, I can't even trust myself anymore, or trust in who I am.
I don't know what to do or think, I am just so lost and so very scared, what if this sick f*ck comes after me again? I don't know what to do or think, I am just totally lost. What should I do? Should I talk to my boss and let security at work know? I know I can't talk to the police, I don't have the courage to bring up things and tell them anything. I just wish I could craw into a hole and disappear for awhile, but that isn't an option.
I have clenched my jaw so hard I can barely even open my mouth today, maybe I should call and tell my therapist what happened, maybe I should talk to him, maybe I should just take the week to compose myself.
Sorry to rant here, but I had to tell someone, had to get some feedback, had to let it out. I am just so lost and scared. Do you think I should tell my therapist? Do you think I should tell my boss? Do you think I should tell my mom? I don't know who to tell or what to do, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
May peace find you all.
