Support Groups
Close Rape
I was raped while out of the country. I was visiting a friend and we went out to celebrate her friend getting married in the morning. Her friend raped me in the bathroom of a strip club 10 hours before he got married. I'd never had sex before. What an awful way to remember your first time. I still wake up from flashbacks and nightmares.
Treatments
- Faith Working / Worked
- Faith and Prayer have really helped me. My faith is based on the trust of a loving Father who cares about me unconditionally and is just as angry over what happened to me as I should be.
- Art Working / Worked
- I am an art student working towards an art therapy degree. Art Therapy is an amazing tool. I can express emotions more easily and tell my story through paintings that I wouldn't want to express in words.
- Pets Working / Worked
- I have an incredible dog that I spend lots of time with. He is my greatest support. He sleeps with me at night. He lays right next to me so I know he is there and waits until I fall asleep before he moves. Its wonderful to have a companion that loves me so unconditionally. I love talking to him and petting him because he doesn't talk back or give me stupid advice like people can when they think they know how you feel.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I've been in therapy for years. I'm really fortunate to have found a therapist I can trust and be completely honest with. She knows me better than anyone.
- Rape Counseling Working / Worked
- Its really hard to relive the rape but I know in the end it will be worth it. Any kind of trauma therapy is awful at first but as you work through the emotions it gets easier and you begin to feel better.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Having support is essential. I don't know where I'd be without friends to talk to when I have nightmares or flashbacks. That's why this website is really great.
