We are here for you whenever you want.

What did your counselor say?

I cried for you.

You've been in my thoughts frequently. I'm glad to know you're healing physically, and that you have your best friend to lean on now, as well as your mom.

I wish you peace, and a fast recovery physically.

This is such a good place to be if you need help, you only need to reach out.

To call when I needed to talk. I really don't say much, except for the clinical stuff. You know...bruises are going away. Bite marks are healing. Nothing emotional.

My doctor gave me some Ativan so I am sleeping a night.

I am going to work today. I asked my boss to only schedule me for days for a while. I hate working days cuz I don't make much money. I am going to check at work and see if anyone lives around me and then maybe we can carpool on days we have the same shift. I am not in a position where I 'can't' work. I have savings, but do not want to use too much of it.

I do really appreciate all the support from all of you! I really do. I wish I could express how much.

Now that made me cry. You, Bliss and a few others have been wonderful with the PMs. Thank you.

A week ago I didn't think I could get through this, now between my IRL people and the support here, I know I can. (this is the only message board I come to)

Hopefully, soon, I can get "me" back. I feel like I am in someone elses skin.

I also want to say that Bitchy has been huge support for me.

Funny how little things that people say can mean the world to another. You have done that Bitchy.

I am leaving for work and I am so terrified.

I am so, so sorry. I wish I had words of wisdom, but I don't. And I wish I could give you some strength. You can do this.

Keeping you in my thoughts today. You can do it.

Wishing you strength today.

Anytime. Anytime.

Tiddlywink said this on the ME thread, but I just wanted to bring it here as well:

"If it helps, think that you have a virtual army of SM's with you in spirit."

You really do.

Hey there- how was work? Thinking of you.

thinking of you too HIM. How are you doing?

I just saw this. I want to express my anger that you were attacked and injured. I also want to tell you I am glad you are with your mom. How long can she stay? You need someone around for a while. If she can't stay long, as at the crisis center if the have a buddy program. Just doing the normal things sometimes it helps to have someone with you until you get your strength back.
I am just so angry for you, and sorry. You did nothing to cause this. You know that. Another thing, there are often times victims assistance funds. Find out about that, you could benefit from them.
Take care will be thinking about you!

How did it go at work? I've been thinking of you.

Still thinking about you.

Thinking of you also. I'm not always good with the words of support but my thoughts have traveled to how you are doing often. I hope work went as well as possible.

I'm so very sorry. I know how hard it is to not blame yourself for something like this, but please try to remember that it doesn't matter what you did/didn't do/were wearing. It doesn't matter if you were skipping naked down the street - no one ever has the right to assault you. Ever. The person who attacked you is to blame. Not you. At all.

I wish you much strength and peace.

I just wanted to pop in and let you know I am thinking of you. I hope you are finding your new normal and healing.
