Hi Everyone.

[wmnow80]

I have been here a few weeks but I have never actually introduced myself. I jumped straight into My Story. I was feeling down and did a search for "rape chat" and this is the first thing that popped up, and I feel fortunate that it did. I just wanted to get it all out immediately and this place gave me that chance - I thought - of course I don't know if I will ever get it all out. I call it Serendipity that you found me though. I came here because I didn't have anyone to talk to about a rape that took place when I was a teenager, besides my therapist, and my husband ( who I don't want to burden - even though he is very supportive). I still feel confused, anxious, angry, aftraid, numb even, but I do fell better when I get it out. I just want to say thanks to all who have welcomed me already and who have supported me and to give you a formal- Hello.
