hi im new

i am to the po

int in my life where i can talk about it without hesitation. But i am having a very hard time lately with flashbacks!

None of my friends have been raped. So although theyhave opened their arms for me to talk about it with them. They wouldnt truly undrstand unless it happened to them and i hope it never dose.

iv always been the strong one. never showing that somethings wrong. but i am screaming on the inside still after 11 years! 

last night was the worst. i was with my boyfriend (who is a good man) and we where w....well you know! and in the middle of it all i freaked and just started balling my eyes out. Usually i can just push it out of my head but the memories hit me like a hammer!

So i thought id join a group......maybe ill find someone to talk to whos going through the same thing as me!

We've here have been where you are. It does get better you just have to let it out and deal with it. We get so used to stuffing it to hid the shame not realizing that that is the worst thing for us. I hope he has been supportive when this happens, because that does matter in the long run.

Take Care,
Lori

thanks lori,
he has been very good to try and understand. he really listens. weve been together for 4 years now!
Its just difficult for him or i guess anyone who hasnt had this happen to them, to understand the emmotional memorie of it.

I was raped when i was 15 and now im 24, i can tell you that i am dealing with the same thing, memories while having sex. I dont know why it happens it just does. I spoke to someone and they told me to try to make the enviroment feel as safe as it can. Whether by locking the door, having the lights on...stuff like that.. it has really helped me. Maybe trying something like that will work for you. Let me know how your doing!

It always hard to understand something when it isn't you, not just rape. Rape does have it's own set of emotional issues though and working through them takes time. Of course sex brings it up, think of if you got hurt on your bike, you would be scared to ride again. But we face it and get back on. Sex and intimacy run deeper that that kind of fear and are much harder to get past but its the same process. You are very lucky to have some who listens and tries to understand and that you trust him enough to tell him.
Be Strong!

Hi,
Women are a precious gem in this world and it is sad to know that any one of them is hurt in this, or any way!
