Writing is my only escape. Writing is the only thing that helps me get through it all. I write everything, and a Lot of times, I write, just to get it all out. Even if it doesn't help at the moment....

Its the only thing that has helped. Talking about it is pointless. I write about it sometimes. I also try and help others who have been in the same situation......

I write my feelings down in a daily journal, which my best friend reads. This way, she knows what's going on in my head and she can help me get through things without having to cut.

Brilliant!!! I have a blog that quite a few men have commented on - outside the usual rape survivor sites. It gave me a lot of encouragement because it showed me that they cared, even though they were only strangers. It gave me my faith back in men.

I spent endless hours journaling about my thoughts, my fears, my anger, my loss, my agonizing pain, and my tentative hopes for the future. I wrote poetry, short stories, prayers, words from songs, memories, etc. This was very therapeutic for me and I think it really helped me work through so much of the confusion of grief.
