About Me
I have a great family. My mom and dad are the greatest and I have a younger brother and sister. We are all very close. I used to be a CNA but I am now disabled. I am very into art and I love drawing. I have very strong faith in my God and without him and the support of my family I wouldn't be here now.

Close Sexual Abuse
my name is courtney. I am 22 years old and 3 years ago i was beaten and raped by a boyfriend and his cousin. for the past three years I have been struggling to regain my life. I am bi-polar and when the rape occurred i was definitely in need of help. I couldn't remember what happened and eventually I broke down. My mind couldn't handle the stress of what had happened to me so I simple couldn't remember. I started having psuedoseizures and was put in the hospital. I spent the next two years in and out of psych wards and therapist offices and because of the medication they had gave me to control my bi-polar my brain was then fried to where it was even hard for me to remember my own families names. Now I am in therapy where I have come to deal with what happened I am still dealing with the after effects of the post traumatic stress. not only did this attack cause me physical harm but mental harm as well. I tried to kill myself twice and up until recently I didn't know why I would even think that was a solution. With the help and support of my family and friends and with the love of God, I SURVIVED. I am now dealing with harassing phone calls from the man who raped me and I am having to make some choices on whether I need to press charges or just change my phone number and move on with my life.

After having to quit school and being in and out of hospitals where they medicated me to the point I didn't even know I was here, and after trying to commit suicide twice they finally figured out I was a rapid cycling bipolar with anxiety and post traumatic stress.
