This is something I thought about doing due to personal experiences. I want to note in no way is this me putting down SS. Sexual harassment happens everywhere both online and offline. Overall, SS provides a space to talk openly about suicide without any shame or judgement and I appreciate it for this very reason. However I wanted to talk about my experience with sexual harassment here and create a space for people who also struggle with the same thing.
I have had a few experiences of sexual harassment. One of which really affected me and still leaves me uncomfortable to this day. I was asked for pictures randomly and felt as if I was being forced to do so. I declined, reported and blocked the individual. However, they proceeded to harass me on my posts and threatened me not report them again. After more reporting, they eventually left me alone. However the incident still affects me and I always panic when I see them in passing. It makes me wonder how many people have also dealt with similar experiences. Ideally I would like to create a group of some sorts though I am not sure how to go about it. What I will do is leave this thread here for anyone who wants to share their thoughts. If anyone wants to reach out to me to discuss this and share their experiences/ideas for a group, I would be glad to listen. I think talking openly about abuse helps and can allow people to feel more connected and safe.
