Rape Support Group

Hey guys. Most of you probably don't remember me it has been such a long time since I was on. I have really been doing ok with things for a while but have been having problems again showering. I just don't know how to get through a shower without having horible flash backs or just sitting in the tub scrubbing my skin off trying to get clean. How do I get passed this. Does anyone else have this problem? I need to talk this out.

I really want to talk.

Anyone around?

I am sorry you are having this problem and that you are having flashbacks again. I experienced this problem a long time ago but I can't remember why it finally passed or what I did about it, Maybe one of our other members can better help you. Welcome back!

Thanks for responding. Yeah hopefully someone else will come on soon.

Are you seeing a therapist by any chance? What changed before the flashbacks started?

That sounds terrible, by the way. I am sorry that's what you have to deal with...would taking a bath help you to feel safer or would that not make a difference?

Stress changed and no therapist. There aren't any decent ones here and I can't afford it.

That is awful...do you have a local crisis center? I think many offer free counseling.

Our local crisis center are the ones who are crumby, want to pass you from one to the next and charge out the butt!!!!!

That is just plain awful! I am so very sorry...I am out of ideas...
