Yes I agree completely that the labels don't matter. But my mind just can't stop thinking about it. I have a hard time with labels, because then I mold my personal image around that label. Nasty habit, I know. Then constantly thinking about it makes me anxious and then I have a lot of self...

After the assault I confided in my sister for comfort and support, as I was not ready to tell my parents. Instead of telling him to leave me alone like I asked, she kept in friendly contact with him. I should note that my sister is a selfish person and did not see how she was enabling him to...

Hello! I can relate with you. When I was little I saw a really graphic rape scene on TV and had rape fantasies when I was a teenager because of it. I too felt disgusted with myself but didn't know why. Then about three years ago I was raped by my older brother's friend followed by a bit of...

Hello! New member here. This post might be a touchy subject for many (as it is for me). I was officially diagnosed with PTSD in February but have experiencing symptoms for about a year and a half. In 2014 I was sexually assaulted by my older brother's friend, followed by a bit of stalking. The...
