Hello everyone and welcome to episode 462 of the Juice Box Podcast.

I'm going to start this episode a little differently than I do normally.

First of all, please remember that nothing you hear on the Juice Box Podcast should be

considered advice, medical or otherwise, please always consult a physician before making

any changes to your health care plan.

But more importantly, if you feel like you can be adversely triggered by conversations

about sexual assault or you're under 18, you should probably just stop this episode right

now.

This episode is part of our After Dark series.

After Dark began back in 2019 with episode 274 about drinking.

We then went to weed smoking, trauma and addiction, sex from different perspectives, depression

and self-harm, divorce, bipolar disorder, bulimia, heroin addiction, and we've even talked

to somebody about how to use psychedelic drugs when you have type 1.

So these episodes are specifically about the stuff that no one talks about from the

perspective of a person living with type 1 diabetes.

Today's episode is about sexual assault and PTSD.

We're going to figure out how to say this to you.

Okay, so the person you're going to hear on the episode today is anonymous.

About a month or so ago, I recorded an episode with them that had nothing to do with any

of this.

And a few weeks later, I received a note that said, I know I just recorded with you, but

I'd like to do an After Dark episode about PTSD and sexual assault.
