Hello, I can talk with you about PTSD and those feelings but I don't have any knowledge first hand of your terrible experience. I hope you are doing good.

Welcome... I think you will find lots of support on this site. I'm so sorry you were raped. It's a terrible thing to go through. I too suffer from depression, PTSD, and was sexually abused as a child, so I can relate. Best wishes to you.

Welcome to the forum LorleiJ,

You will have many people who will be able to relate to your experience. There is a special section for sexually abused members and lots of articles / information on PTSD.

Hi Lorleij!

I love your name... Welcome to the forum. Also take a look at Froggie's suggestion at the sexabuse forum at [DLMURL]http://sexabuse.ptsdforum.org/[/DLMURL] . A number of us are members of both forums.

Looking forward to seeing you around!

Hi,
I just joined the forum today, I was also recently diagnosed with PTSD involving a rape 4 years ago. I have certainly found it extremely difficult to explain these feelings to people aside from my therapist, or even fully understanding them myself. There's a sense of feeling like a ruined woman, I remember for a long time, when I was 18 or 19, feeling as though I had been robbed of all the innocence I ever had, and being so incredibly pissed off. I suppose there was a grieving process to a degree, and of course the healing is a long, long process. This has only been my experience, I hope you're able to use this space as a comforting outlet.
