Hello. Sorry for the last post, it was very uncalled for. However, I did finally get the courage to tell my mother about this. She was so sad, she was crying, she kept apologizing, and I kept apologizing, we were both crying. But I swear, those were the happiest tears I've ever shed. I don't...

Hello. I somewhat get warnings from my body ahead of time, if I'm about to have a flashback. My body tenses up, I breathe in and out quickly, my fists clench, it seems to happen on its own. Every case is different, I presume, I'm 16, so I might have milder warnings then someone who is older. Or...

I would never even think about hurting myself, or others. I have been known as a very non-violent guy. Sadly, things didn't go well today. When I arrived, there was only one person there besides him and I. And 'he' told the other person to go out and get groceries. Then, he made me, take off...

Thank you for that insight. That cleared a few things up for me. I can't explain how great it feels to finally let people know! It hurt having it bottled up for the past 6 years. I visit 'him' tomorrow, so hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thanks everyone! :)

Thank you so much. I'm almost tearing up. Thank you so much, this whole community has been a godsend for me. Your kindness, words of encouragement, and helpful tips are amazing. What do you mean by "work through them with treatment"? Will I have to go to some hospital-type treatment other than...

Thank you very much for all the help and information. Sadly, I don't have a phone (of my own) to call RAINN. I genuinely appreciate all of the help you all have provided, it has helped quite a bit; especially the grounding things. Although, I can't help but think it was somewhat my fault for...

I want to tell a counsoler, but here's what I think would happen. I tell my counsoler, she tells my mom, my mom gets upset, she would believe she is at fault. She would call the police, the police would call Child Protective Services. I'd imagine that CPS would take me away from my mom, I would...

I Thank you. I don't see him very often, luckily. Maybe once a month. And, he would have to be, alone with me. I've tried my hardest to ensure that there is at least one other person present in addition to him and myself. I just don't think I'm ready to tell my mom yet. It would be very...

I am in the US. Thank you. You're right, I probably should change it.

Oh, alright. Thanks. I just thought it was a little off topic to the Forum Category. Do you have any tips on things I can do in that regard? Thank you.

Thank you very much for the reply. I am already seeing a regular counsoler, my mom suggested I visit her so I can figure out why my grades have been so low lately. Does a trauma therapist have to be a specific type of therapist? Or would my current general therapist know how to deal with these...

I've tried telling her, but I'm afraid that the confession is out of her 'rules of confidentiality'. And I don't want her telling my mom, or the police.

Hello. This is hard to type. I hate it. I was raped for 6 years by someone. I won't tell who. Since I was 10, up until now. I am 16, sophomore in high school. Every so often, I have flashbacks, waking nightmares, of my, rape. I don't know when it happens, it comes up out of nowhere sometimes...
