I’m Getting Back on Track
This entry was posted on Sunday, July 13th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Friday, Tamara went with me to see my case manager at Family and Children’s Services. I had to sign papers designating her as my treatment advocate. Tamara also wants to get an intake appointment for herself and wants me to be her treatment advocate. She thinks she may be bipolar as well and I think she may be right.
I told my case manager I want to get back into groups and counseling. She said before the counseling I need to have 3 appointments with her to discuss my recovery goals. She wanted me to think about what those goals are over the weekend and then come see her Monday afternoon.
I believe the number one thing I need to address is how the Jonathon situation has affected me. After a lot of thought I have come to the conclusion that the effects of the rape combined with the medication adjustment, cessation of marijuana consumption, and near-hostile living arrangement, and the return to work at Directv are the root causes of this episode. My secondary goals are to brush up on my coping skills; setting boundaries; and building healthy relationships.
After the night Jonathon raped me again, things started going downhill at lightning speed. I stopped going to my usual support groups because they were headed by the same therapist. I had told her1 what had transpired she told me sex by intimidation is a type of rape. The all too familiar shame overwhelmed me and I wasn’t ready to face it. I wanted to pretend it didn’t happen – ostrich syndrome.
