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.
