I went out with a friend to our favorite bar. I had two drinks and the my one friend left. I was socializing and we were talking about fire ball and one guy offered to get me and his friend a shot. Then 2 more. Within mins everything was black and I woke up on someone’s couch covered in urine but fully dressed. I thought I was safe.
From further investigation, I was so wrong. A week later I found out a guy left with me then dropped me off in the front of the bar a few hours later. Completely disoriented. “Drunker” then anyone there had ever seen me. Someone gave me a description and I never remembered a guy who fit that description.
I knew he raped me, I was on my period and the next Day my tampon had been pushed up. I was hoping it was something else but it wasn’t. I just started a new relationship, he knows and is supportive. It’s really hard especially when you know this thing had your body and you don’t know how long. Or who he even was.

The unknown, or the known but not fully known, can be confusing and upsetting. I hope you know that whatever he did to your body and no matter how long he did it for, it is no reflection of who you are. I hope you are ale to find peace with this, knowing that you are loved and supported. Thank you for sharing your story – it will help a lot of people feel less alone. I hope it helped you to feel a little less alone too and that it offered you some healing and some hope.
