*****Triggers*****

When I was 17 the last person that abused me was a Dr that I saw for a physical after seeing him 3 months earlier for a ulcer in my stomach. It was a "physical" all right I was tolled to take off my pants and that he was going to do a digital exam. What did I know had no I idea what that meant so I did what I was tolled. He said I had to bend over on the table. I did but as I took look at his face I knew what was to come I know that face the hunger for innocence for what is not yours. All I remember is his hand where it should not have been then hearing his zipper and presser of his body on me. I blacked out I dont remember getting dressed or going home. I only found out later that prostate exams are done when you turn 40-50 years old and that this was no exam but rape. I dont remember his name or any thing else so have no one to go after and its 28 years later.
As I wright this the tears are falling I have never wrote down any of this in detail it feels so final so real. Speaking about it is one thing but writing is totaly different black and wight no gray no color just stark words on paper no shad to hid under no rock to cover my head no dream to take me away a reality that I dont want to deal with but do every day of my life. I was a victim of 10 perps I survived and every day that I do is a victory for me and all who love me.

I nearly lost it when i started reading your post but i was able to refrain from breaking down. Your story hit home. I too was abused not by one but two male doctors till i reached eighteen and then went to a female doctor. I have been able now to allow a male doctor help me but it took 30 years to gain trust in male doctors. I hope things are better for you.

I'm sorry that my post was triggering. I had intended to post it in the news forum without any comments but then started writing for the first time. It hit me hard I ended up collapsing in bed. If not for my wife being very loving and tender holding me for a long time I would never have gotten through. I felt so alone so uncared for like I did all thouse years ago but the difference was she is here for me she saved me from the pit of despair. I still have major issues seeing Dr I don't go alone and mostly I go when I'm realy not feeling well and have no choice. One of the things I that got me mad at one point was me becoming an Acupuncturist was probably a do to the abuse being my own Dr but in a totally different was. It took me time to accept that it was me reclaiming my ability to help my self and others in a compassionate and caring way that looks at a person not at just a number or thing.
I'm doing much better today.
Thank you for responding and please take care of your self. If you want to send me a PM.
