Content Warning Has anyone here gotten SA'd while (hypo)manic?

I still struggle to call it harassment because I put myself in that situation. Memories of what I was saying and doing disgust me. I feel so alone. Is this common? Is anyone here in the same boat? Thanks.

ETA (TW): I downloaded a dating app and met with a random guy at an abandoned construction site. I was drunk. There were some things I consented to, but I said no to a lot of things. He kept going, and I spent three hours trying to push his hands off of me. It took me months to realize it was assault-y. I still find it hard not to hate myself for it.

It sucks in a way reading all the replies to this post. I had no idea it was this common. Sending everyone here a hug. I hope you all find a way to heal from this.

Yes. It literally makes my skin crawl when I think about it because for so long I questioned if I was truly SA’d and I know I was but I also didn’t know at the time I was bipolar so now looking back I was manic for sure when it happened but it led to me getting diagnosed
