Hello I am new here and I am 35 years old and female.
I have joined because as of today I am receiving help from a mental health first aider for sexual harassment and childhood assault. My first aider believes I might have post traumatic stress disorder and it may possibly be affecting my thoughts, concentration and decision making during my job.

I was told by other people when I explained what the harasser had done, that I “was asking for it”, that being assaulted as a child was “just an excuse”, I’m “not to be trusted” because I’m married and that “I wanted it.” I felt so disbelieved.

I also may have low self esteem/confidence because I do think I’m stupid, useless and ugly.

Anyway, glad to be here and thank you for reading.
