Anonymous asked: You finish uni this year. Do you think you could ever find the time and energy to pursue a charge against the scumbags who did this to you? :)
Anonymous asked: Shannon, I have been reading your ask's, and saw that you booked a therapy appointment to help deal with your sexual assault. I was assaulted, and I have been in and out of therapy for years, however I have this excellent therapist at the moment, he is based in Marks Point (which I know is close for you). He was raped himself, and is really inspiring. All the things he says makes so much...
fromonesurvivortoanother asked: just wanted to say that i really appreciate what you do here.
Anonymous asked: We're the police good to you? Like helpful/non-judgemental/not scary?
occupycityrail asked: How do you feel about Macadamia biscuits?
Anonymous asked: Thanks for explaining the ins & outs of why you told the police & why you didn't press charges, it helps me deal with what i've been through. I don't actually know your story though, are you willing to share? As I think i went through something similar & its good to reach out to those in like-minded situations.
mysonisalsonamed-bort-deactivat asked: how do you feel about the argument that women who don't pursue justice for their own assaults allow their attackers to go on and victimise others, and that women should be legally required to follow their allegations through until a ruling is made in court?
Anonymous asked: can i please ask why you didn't press any charges? It has affected you so much, everyone can tell. They should pay for it.
iiwantedeverything-deactivated2 asked: did you report your assault? and if you didn't, why not?

Anonymous asked: Shannon - don't take depression lightly! Seek professional help because you may need to take medication for a short time until you learn coping mechanisms. The world is full of young people who suicide because they don't take this important step.

Anonymous asked: Everybody's sad mate. Happiness is an elusive bastard, but sometimes we get hold of him for an hour or two; that's all you can really hope for I guess.
Anonymous asked: Just try to find pleasure in little things, such as: feeling the warm sun on your back after it has been cold all day; when the you find the perfect resource for the essay you are writing; and how so many people who have only met you via this website honestly believe you are wonderful. It is small things like that which keep me going. They are not time consuming, but they make everything a little...
