    • Close Rape

      When I was seventeen I got my first boyfriend. He was good at first, then he turned mean. He became incredibly abusive everyday and I became an empty shell of who I used to be. The summer before my senior year of high school, he raped me. For the past five years I have kept it a secret. I've blamed myself and told myself "it wasn't really rape". I guess that's how your brain deals with such intense emotions sometimes. He destroyed every part of me. I am just acknowledging what happened.

      Treatments

      Talking Too Soon to Tell
      I feel like by finally saying it out loud to another person that I have unleashed something that is too big for me to control anymore. It has intensified what happened and I have been reliving it alot lately. However, it also forcing me to face it for the first time since it happened. I know I need to do that to heal...it is excrutiating to do though.
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      It helps me get out my anger and other feelings and clear my head.
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      I started this actually when I was fifteen and my father died. It helps the intensity of the emotions but obviously does not get rid of them.
