Hello


Recommended Posts

I don't exactly know exactly where to begin. I was in a bad relationship for 4yrs. I was verbally and psychologically abused, as well as raped. I have many conflicted feelings about, but I think they all mostly stem from not fully coming to terms with it. I can name it as such, but I can't quite deal with associating it with myself yet, if that makes sense.

I just want to get past it all. Seven months since and I'm happier, but I feel more broken because I have names to put to the types of pain I had and still have. The bandages of ignorance are gone. I'm having a hard time dealing with it.

I hope this place and some time will be the perfect tonic for this.

Here's to high hopes

I was raped last weekend. It was a Friday night and I just turned 21 the day before. I never went to a bar and it was overwhelming feeling. I did do a some shots and a drink and I went home with a guy I didn't know. We made out but I didn't want to have sex with him. He kept putting my hand on his groin and somewhat force me to perform oral on him. Then he raped me anally. It feels like the people I trust don't want to talk about it with me. I just then detact myself emotionally
