Hello Sleepymagi and welcome to the group. I am really sorry about what happened to you. How is the counceling working out for you? Your parents dont know? Do you think they would be supportive of you if they knew?

You have lots of support here. Please use the forum to heal, vent and make new friends. Private message me any time.

Also, call RAINN (1.800.656.4673 | Free. Confidential. 24/7)if you would like to talk to an advocate over the phone. They can tell you about helpful resources in your area.

Hi Sleepymagi,

It's good to have you here with us. You are among friends and people who understand what you have been through, which certainly sounds like a terrifying ordeal.

You don't have to tell your parents if you don't want to, and from what you've said it sounds like it would be difficult if you did. Whatever works for you is okay. And it's also okay to take as much time as you need to talk it through with your counsellor. (I know you may well only have a certain limited number of sessions but what I mean is, don't feel rushed or pressured, try to do it at your own pace that feels comfortable for you.)

If you need to talk to someone who understands, I, for one, am here and I'm sure many others will offer their support as well.

Good luck!!

Littleme x x

Through supporting and helping each other, we can all thrive and survive!

My heart breaks for you; I'm glad you are away from this p.o.s. and I am so happy you have a support system. Like the others said; you do this in your own time and don't tell anyone you don't think will be a help in this situation. Stay with us and talk when you want.

I am so, so sorry. What a horrific experience...and then to have walk free...this stuff infuriates me. Because you can't prove consent or lack of consent...which is what is really at issue here. And I'm upset that they could use that as a defense at all, your seizure disorder, because I would think that a person having a seizure can't consent anyway.

I hope you don't mind if I say I am sorry about the loss of your pregnancy. I am glad you are reaching out and getting help, you are on the right path. Healing is a two step forward, one step back process.

I am not a doctor or therapist, just a person who cares.

Wow, that is HUGE. Going seizure free and getting your license back. Do you think there is something about the trauma of your rape that may have knocked the seizures into a new place? Wouldn't that be a major kick in the head. I'm happy to hear you're feeling better and have found a home here. Stay with us and see how much you can help others with your knowledge and experience too.
