sexual assault

hello im gymgirl 240

i was reciently sexually assaulted mid december last year by my boss. I have reported it to police and they are working on the case. The reason im here is to get others stories on how they have coped through it as I am really finding it hard to deal with and have restless nights and really paranoid to be around males that I do not know but with this i am losing some friends because they dont understand why i am having trouble being around them. please share stories and i am more then welcome to open up about what i am going through
