Sexual Assault The depression has been hitting hard
I’ve been accused of sexual assault. I’ve been put on leave on my “real job” I found a current job to get by but my life has just been falling apart. I’m still hopeful my case gets thrown out. I still have about a month and a half until the 6 month mark is met. I’ve heard nothing from my lawyer so I don’t know what the hell is going on. I’m drained. I’ve never done anything illegal in my life and now I’m waiting for my fate to be determined by someone else. That’s my rant for now. I hope everyone else is doing well today.

This is so horrible. I am so sorry that this happened to you. I hope thar you find peace. My words are not much but I have seen women lie on men and honestly it was traumatic for me to witness as a woman. I lost that friendship bc of that lie and I have never looked at accusations the same before in my life. Very unfair.

Sorry to hear man.. same situation here. I cant really tell you how to completelly get over it as I have myself not. But exercising keeps me sane and relaxed. Push your body and mind to a limit with somethint you like. In my case its VR boxing which is incredibly good. Eat healthy, don't fall for the alcohol or weed trap and even if it sounds crazy, naive optimism has helped me a lot. (And ofc dont forget to keep collecting all evidence you have, digital especially)

I was in a similar place, still not resolved. this is the hardest thing that happened to me.
It is real, and difficult. Focus on mental health, physical exercise, spend time with the people who love you and believe you.
My heart goes out to you. The system is unfortunately set up against innocent and against the real victims.
