Hello

[1angel75]

Hi....My name is Angie and I am a 2x survivor of rape. I am married with children. I am currently attending classes and studying to become a Medical Office Assistant. The first time I was raped, I was in High school. The second time I was raped was on October 14, 2006 after a night of drinking at the local bar. I have been having a very difficult time with this recent event. I have nightmares, a fear of people that I have never had before, I feel claustrophobic, angry, hurt, scared, and definitely alone except for the support of my husband. I feel anxious and very jumpy. I don't like being home alone anymore and that is difficult for me since my husband works evenings. I am stressed out beyond belief and I really don't like to do many of the normal daily things that I used to be interested in. I hate being outside in my own neighborhood.

Welcome to AS. You have got plenty of the best support now. Folks on here are really wonderful and will give you all the understanding and support that is possible. I think that we all can relate to what you are experiencing and feeling. Sometimes the fear alone can be overwhelming. It does gradually get better. Bless your husband for supporting you. Be kind to yourself and take care.

Welcome to AS. It is a very brave thing to talk about what happened to you and here you will find that everyone is supportive and going through a lot of the same things. I am so sorry to hear about the fear that you have to live with, but in healing, I hope that you can find peace and are able to do the things you once enjoyed.

Hi Angie and Welcome to AS... everyone here really is so supportive and you should be proud of yourself for coming and sharing your story... I've only been here a couple of days but I've found so much support and it helps me to talk to people who really understand what the fear and all the other emotions are like. I was drunk too.... and even though I have yet to really and truly believe it, being drunk DOES NOT give anyone the right to harm you... take care and remember whenever you need us we're all here for you :xmas2:
