I was raped this week, ask me anything

243. No questions, just hoping that

you're getting the support you need.

It looks like lots of people posted here with helpful suggestions, so I won't repeat what's already been posted and said.

Except to say: I was raped when I was twenty-one years old, and after being abused by the police it took another six years before I sought any kind of support at all. Once I did, it was like I could finally breathe and feel and be with myself again.

The people who helped me most were the folks at a local rape crisis center, and a therapist who'd also been an RCC counselor.

I mourn for you and for what you've had to suffer.

I hope you find whatever and whoever you need to recover.

And I thank you for having the courage to come here and share this horrific experience. I'm sure there are lots of survivors who will read this thread--men and women--who will derive a great measure of comfort and support from what has been posted here, and by the example of courage you've set for all of us.

Best wishes.
