Seeker, that is horrible. I'm glad that you're "okay" but I would imagine that any assault leaves one with some scars. I think I'd hit the counseling up right away.It's hard to assess your own condition when you've been through a trauma, so why not get a professional second opinion?

Best of luck to you, and I'm so sorry this happened.

Probably right, I've called 5 and waded through 5 menus and left messages--now we'll see who calls back...glad it wasn't an emergency...Thanks Goldie SeekerSeeking 5 days ago .

Geez, I'd need counseling just to handle all the questions you must have! Also, if you'd had pepper spray in your hand, do you think you would have been able to use it? Or a gun?

Just curious - and if you don't feel like talking about it, I understand and apologize. Best wishes for a full recovery - both physically and emotionally.

No, I don't think any weapon would have helped me as I was turned backward to them and after that needed both hands and body weight not to be jerked off the railing. I've spun and spun wondering what they wanted. There have been some rapes in the area and I think they thought I'd be a quick grab and go.

Thanks for well-wishes... SeekerSeeking 5 days ago .

You don't go in what the "assault" entailed. I think a person that is a victim of crime fairs much better phsychologically if the perpetrator reaps their just rewards. I would follow through and see that is done.

There's no money where I work. I work outside. I was grabbed from behind so I latched onto a metal railing for all I was worth.

Then the alternated between bashing my head into the rail and trying to get me off the rail. I say 'they' because I heard a vehicle drive up while someone had their hand on my head. I started screaming--when I stopped they were gone.

The police doubt they'll find anybody cause I didn't see anybody . . .

So yuppers, I've got a call into a counselor.... SeekerSeeking 5 days ago .

That is horrible. Even if you are only part time, your employee is still responsible for your safety. Just because they don't provide you with health insurance doesn't mean they don't have a responsiblity to you.

I would seek counseling immediately, hopefully your employer will assist. As long as you did report it to your employer? .

Oh yeah, I reported it to my employer. They've been very nice. The police, co-workers, and an ambulance came.At first my eyes weren't reacting the same, then they were so I was okay to go home.

The votes for counseling now; I've got a call in.... SeekerSeeking 5 days ago .

If you were assaulted at work then you should be getting free counseling I would imagine via the companies insurance, or work comp.

I work part-time; no insurance. I do have insurance thru MyHoney, tho. SeekerSeeking 5 days ago .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
