| A little about me: | I was raped in July 2000 by two men I didn't know. It has haunted me since then and I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD as a result. It makes sense to me, and it explains all the symptoms I thought were disconnected - the fear, the physical pains, the lack of ability to be intimate with anyone. Definition of Rape The exact definition of “rape,” “sexual assault,” “sexual abuse” and similar terms differs by state. The wording can get confusing, since states often use different words to mean the same thing or use the same words to describe different things. So, for a precise legal definition, you need to check the law in your state. But here are some general guidelines based on the definitions used by the U.S. Justice Department. Please note that this definition is a bit graphic, which is inevitable when describing crimes this violent. Rape: forced sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal, or oral penetration. Penetration may be by a body part or an object. Rape victims may be forced through threats or physical means. In about 8 out of 10 rapes, no weapon is used other than physical force. Anyone may be a victim of rape: women, men or children, straight or gay. (source: http://www.rainn.org/get-information/types-of-sexual-assault/definition-of-rape) |

My Hugs
 | Hello, To all of my friends, group members, newbee's. Sorry, I haven't been on. My cousin passed away at age 41, we were all very sadden by this loss. Please say a prayer for my family. Now its back to you guys. I found these quotes and I wanted to share. Hugs Dee Remember and I thinking about all of you and wishing you the best. Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself – George Bernard Shaw I have found that if you love life, life will love you back - Arthur Rubinstein Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive – Howard Thurman. Life isn’t a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘Woohoo WHAT A RIDE’! |
| For the month of May, I want you to all know how brave you are because of the battles you have fought within yourself and with society. You are all hero's! (Rape Forum Leader) The hero is no braver than the ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer - Ralph Waldo Emerson |
| HUGS to you all! sorry i havent been around in awhile...craziness with school but im glad to be back!! hope you all have been good :) |

My Diary
My attempts at recovery and moving on
This is going to be a place where I can write about how I feel on a day-to-day basis without fear of being called crazy, or just being told to "get on with it", both of which have happened in the past!
