I was raped a year ago and I'm just now starting to be an a semi-stable place. Whats really bothering me right now is that my brain is just not working right. My memory has been total crap since it happened, which i know is part of the defense mechanism, but I still forget entire conversations. Im a grad student and I'm having a lot of trouble keeping up in school because I'm finding that I'm having a lot of trouble learning and my processing speed is so much slower now. I'm trying to be patient with myself, but its hard to do when the rest of the world looks down on people who can't keep up
