So let me start off with some facts, I am 18 and a male, who has been struggling through depression - and was making really good progress like really good progress until this week. So there is this girl who had a crush on me and on multiple times I made it clear to her that I had no interest in her, and no interest in dating or anything along those lines on multiple occasions but she just kept trying. So she got a boyfriend about a week before a party we both went to. She told everyone not to tell me about the boyfriend, not a great deal of people knew but the ones who did were told strictly not to tell me.

So we were at a party and as per most parties she spent the entire time around me, I kept telling her no i don't want to hook up with her and then finally she left and started talking to other people. At this point me and some mates started drinking (this was my first time drinking ever) and my mates thought it would be funny to get me pissed, so I didn't realise at the time but they were get me really drunk and of course I am a stupid teenager I couldn't feel the effect immediately so I kept going. To the point that I do not remember anything past that point on the night and to the point where I was stumbling and passing out. So either way I was completely out of it.

From here the story is all from the girls point of view and not mine, as I know this all because she told me.

So this girl comes back and trys to get in with me, and I didn't saying anything she just took my hand out to the back. She was completely sober she had nothing to drink. So we went in her car and well we had sex apparently. She said I passed out and she just went at it and that I didn't say or do much I was just kind of there. So she just told everyone that I was sick so she was helping me. Then the day after I find this all out, as well as the fact she had a boyfriend. Eitherway I was so furious and angry and so ashamed I haven't told anyone anything. She then told me she took the morning after pill which I found out today she didn't, as she pissed her period and since me she has had sex with 3 other guys unprotected.
Is there anything I can do, about this situation or place I can go for support?

Ps I have a rare genetic disease and had never planned on having children ever because of it - I really don't want her to have a child because of this and I am not ready and I want nothing to do with her. The girl was 18 too.

I feel violated and cringe when people touch me since.

Hi Imscared . You are rightly upset about this situation. This was non consensual sex and that is never ok . It is sexual assault. Just because you were drunk , and just because you are a guy , doesn't mean that it's ok for someone to have sex with you. If anyone is too drunk or drug affected to consent to a sexual encounter, then it should not go ahead.

You need to tell a responsible adult about what has happened to you . Together with your parents or a trusted adult you can decide how to proceed with respect to reporting this or having further discussions with her.

You may need to talk to a GP to just double check that you are ok yourself after having unprotected sex.

Please please don't be so hard on yourself . You are young and you are bound to make mistakes . We all do! The difference between clever people and stupid ones is that clever ones use the mistakes as learning opportunities. I hope you will .

The negative voices you have in your head and the response that is developing is probably a mixture of the old depressive sound tracks together with a sense of shame and guilt about "allowing" this to happen . So many victims of sexual assault feel this . As if somehow they were responsible- and I want to say here that you were not !

Please get the help you need to put the blame in the right place and begin to forgive yourself and like yourself again.

You sound like a pretty awesome guy and I hope you can overcome this awful chapter and get on with your life. Don't allow this young woman to rob you of more than she already has
