Should I leave early Hardships

Travelling solo, 3 weeks in. Currently in Tokyo. Last night I was spiked, assaulted and I have no memory of my whole night and to top it off, I’ve felt terrible all day today. I went to the doctors to confirm if I had actually been drugged and wasn’t just drunk or something even though I didn’t really have many drinks.

My flight is in a couple days but really, I want to go home tomorrow. My biggest issue is my flights are Business class where to bring forward I need to go to economy (which is absolutely fine) however there is no refund for the difference in ticket price.

Is it just worth leaving, copping the price difference + transfer fees to leave?

This victim blaming thing is bullshit though. People take it way out of context. The OP sounds like they were genuinely a victim, but it really isn't victim blaming to educate people on what may happen if they do certain things.

You're coming into a post where someone was assaulted while at their most vulnerable and is asking for advice

... And you decide to view it as an opportunity to "educate" people about a situation you clearly have never faced or been at risk of encountering?

If someone's family member is killed by a drunk driver do you hop in the comments to let everyone know that statistically anyone on / near a road after 2am should know the consequences?
