Sarah - you are the BRAVEST WOMAN i know. I had the exact same thing happen to me in college! and I just told my therapist on friday I've never talked about it. Ever!

ofcourse tasting that would trigger you - why wouldn't it? be kind to yourself. you have been through so much! I think you are doing great. Hang in there. LOVE AND HUGS. Heather
 
Thank you heather , And im so so sorry you also went through that , ((hug)) its strange , part of me feels like that bit of my attack is/had effected me more than the rape....i dont understand that. But it just infuriates me, i hate how it effects eating food too....do you find that (if you do not mind me asking you) . . . . . i hope you are well my friend , sarah
 
Hi sarah - sorry the font size is so small (above)- you need a magnifying glass to read it!

Mine, wasn't violent like yours . It was disgusting and vile and i didn't want it. i think that's the difference because i'd probably have issues with food and texture if it was violent. what you are going through is completely normal given the circumstance.

I feel more guilty because I think I contributed to it happening. partially anyway. Logically I go over it, I tell myself no - i'm not to blame. But I still have this nagging feeling that I was drunk, I allowed myself to get that way. I came onto him because I was drunk etc.

Anyway....Hang in there. You're doing great!!! Hugs and love. Heather
 
Thank you for that reply , I just want to say to you , Any man/monster who takes advantage of us is just that , a monster , and we dont deserve / its not our fault. I too sometimes look back , and feel regret , i had also been drinking , if i hadnt i always think , maby i could have fought them off.....But in reality when i really dig deep , I/you should never have been put in that situation , and the reason we were was because of the person/people who chose to do it. I hope that makes some sort of sence , im not too good with my words , but , your a strong lady , and i really appreciate the support you are giving me on here.....stay safe friend, Sarah
 
The inner monster has officially arrived. I hope it dosent stick arround for long. I feel this sence of lonleyness and anger. As my phsycotherapis explained to me , i have all the anger bottled up from the attack , now the top of the bottle has been opend , the un spoken anger is exploding out. like a shaken up bottle of pepsi. My Therapist said something to me , She was blunt , honest , and trying to make me see the damage thats been done and needs fixing , Showing me how the last 3 years have been in a way stolen , and how i need to re gain my life. The anger overflowed , the realisation thoes monsters have a hold on me and my life still sent an uncontrollabe emotion of rage through me. she said how it was ok to show emotion/cry when the tears begun, i dont want to cry , i dont want the tears , i want to be happy. Then the anger just took over me , i told her i felt like i was going to go mad , and the blood images are everywhere and im scared , she told me to ground , so i sat stomping my foot and breathing deeply , I was so scared i had this knolidge i was physiclly out of control. I had to get out , i had to go , RIGHT then , i went to walk out the door , now in a state. She was nice , she touched my shoulder , That touch felt scary , mixed with the images in my mind . BANG. I wasnt sarah , I was someone who was damaged and out of her controll , i felt like cutting myself into pieces , changing this face , this body so everytime i see it i dont feel like a dirty used person , so i dont see the girl who was hurt. My head was screaming at me to stop , my body wasnt listning. i pegged it , faster thank i have ever run in my life , in the most agressive mood , the most heartbroken i think ive ever felt , im loosing myself and that scares me , I want to be ME , SARAH . I need my f*cking life back. I WANT it back. I headed to the kitchen , with every intention of cutting my deep UGLY knife scar on my thigh they branded me with that night , changing it so it wasnt there mark any more so it didnt look the same , so i had some controll over it. I didnt get there, they were there to stop me , at the time i hated them for stopping me , they took my power away , i was restrained on the foor and held gently on the sofa , then given a bad to breathe into , it was a full blown f*cking petrifying anxiety attack. i just kept repeating that i wasnt safe. After a few hours and calming down i spoke to her again , I told her how i feel ''branded'' like everyone can see or somehow know im a rape victim , how every one is looking at me and seing a used un-pure person. i dont know why... but she has come up with an activity for us tonight to do when its dark , its wierrd, so she had me draw the place it happend , And write how they made me feel and how they physically hurt me , and were burning them outside later and eating dinner over a bbq together , what an accomadatiing thrapist......
 
"unlike the human race they only hurt me if i let them"

No one can hurt you without your permission (that's Elanore Rosevelt). I have read of your rape, and your anger at his release. I am deeply sorry. But you did nothing to ask for it. You did nothing to deserve self-loathing. The woman in the mirror is your redemption. She will save you. She has all the answers. And she loves you. Let her. Don't keep your soul at arms length. Your pain (like your cutting) makes you stronger.

Now, cut open your soul and let your feelings bleed out. And while you do, imagine yourself as a strong and powerful creature, hold your weak and fearful self. Strong Self caressing and giving love. Weak Self allowing pain to be felt, and experienced. You are in a safe place.

Wishing there was justice...because if there was, those animals would NEVER see the light of day again.

Sending you wishes for comfort, healing, and hope. You deserve to exorcise these awful people from your head & heart.
 
Sarah I'm so proud of you .
Showing me how the last 3 years have been in a way stolen , and how i need to re gain my life. The anger overflowed , the realisation thoes monsters have a hold on me and my life still sent an uncontrollabe emotion of rage through me. she said how it was ok to show emotion/cry when the tears begun, i dont want to cry , i dont want the tears , i want to be happy
The reason this seems so hard for you, is because its so good for you... now is the time to regain your life back, and for you to be happy...You deserve happiness my friend, and this is the beginning of the end of your saddness.
she has come up with an activity for us tonight to do when its dark , its wierrd, so she had me draw the place it happend , And write how they made me feel and how they physically hurt me , and were burning them outside later and eating dinner over a bbq together
