    • Close Rape

      I was a date rape victim. I am now a date rape SURVIVOR! I will do whatever I possible can to help other girls with this rape trauma, and I want to find a way to publicize this silent crime so that Americans can no longer turn their heads. Shame and Guilt are the last thing survivors should feel, and its going to take a lot to change the stigme in our culture... but we CAN do it. I love all the precious and beautiful survivors all around me.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      It has worked so far. I have been on all sorts of anit depressants for the past three years and I think this is the right one for me.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I have been through so much therapy and therapisrs... but three years after the rape is when i finally found the right therapist. He has changes my life and has helped me make my healing my own to be proud of! thank you ****...you have helped me unbelievably.
      Talking Working / Worked
      A friend once said to me "I think everytime i tell somebody my story, the pain loses a little bit of its power every time" I love that woman, and she is so right.
    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I spent 3 years in therapy without telling my therapists what was really tearing me up inside. Finally when i did, they told me it was PTSD i got after i was raped. I finally had an answer... I wasnt crazy... I was a victim.. WAS*keyword. I survived tho. i am a survivor.
