Yeah you really do need to talk to a psyciatrist. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Believe me, they'll help so much, you'll feel like a new person. When i got back from one, everyone said i looked different and acted different, i was back to my old self.

I've been in the same situation, but I got over it by talking to someone and I started using a journal. Little by little the pain went away. Sure sometimes I remember but I just write what I feel and it kind of goes away.

As a victim myself, I'll just say seek help. Professionaly, and spiritually (unless your church has an odd tendency of blaming you for being raped). Maybe write down what happened and hide it away, or write a note to the rapist and throw it away. It'll help give you a feeling of closure.

Hey, I just wanted to say you are incredibly brave for surviving something like that.

For help and/or someone to talk to, you might want to call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE. They are open 24 hours a day.

Is there a trusted adult, a parent, an older brother/sister/cousin, a school counselor, or even a good friend you could talk to? One good resource for survivors of rape or incest is RAINN. On their site, they list counseling centers all over the States. They can provide you with resources or someone to talk to. (If you don't find anything through their site, you can call them at 1-800-656-HOPE for more info).

Remember that are not alone. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. You rock, Talk_a_lot! Keep posting to the boards for support and to express yourself.

I agree. You need to seek professional help. I could go into the hows and whys it's happening, but, I highly reccommend seeking help, it's really the only way it'll stop.

Damn, that's harsh. If you can find a shrink (not trying to be mean) and talk, it might help. If you can't forget about it, try to. Anything. Hypnosis, Counseling, something. Talk to a preacher, they listen and help you. And pray. It will work. Hope I could help you.
