I was physically assaulted in 2024 by a stranger while walking out of my work’s parking garage to my office. I wanted to move on and put it behind me, but 2 years later I’m at the same job and have to pass by the location where it happened twice a day. I feel like I am just now processing what happened. I’ve become cynical at work and feel like I am stuck in survival mode.

I’m a 32 year old woman and I live at home with my parents. I work full time and commute. I’m an introvert and don’t enjoy socializing or crowds. I enjoy being home either in my garden, with my dog or reading. With the economy and other people my age, I sometimes feel like I’m behind and a loser. Anyone else?
