everyday I am getting worse. I've tried everything. I'm starting to get suicidal thoughts and just feel like I'll be better off dead. Need the thoughts to stop and I need ways to cope. My parents know but they say "it's just a phase" PLEASE HELP

tazz, listen to me. the rape WAS NOT YOUR FAULT! it was the fault of the dirtbag who raped you. no matter how you were dressed, that is no reason to rape someone. I posted a link that has phone numbers to hotlines. I will pray for you. hang in there, honey

That's just crazy, it wasn't your fault, nobody ever wants to be raped, you're parents should be ashamed of them selves for not caring, this is not a phase!! If you can't get to a therapist there are suicide hotlines that you can call but please talk to someone. How old are you? Do you need your parents to see a doc and get meds for depression? God bless and take care! I wish you the best! WWhatever you do, do not take yout own life, life is too precious, seek kelp! xox

My heart cries for you. First off, I am a man. NO WOMEN ASKS to be raped. NO WOMEN should fear dressing anyway they want to. Just because a women wears something she feels positive about does NOT GIVE ANYONE permission to do ANYTHING. Please understand this, the issue is NOT with you, the issue is with the person that COMMITTED the rape, of which YOU are TOTALLY INNOCENT. There is no doubt that life WILL throw things at us, and we are expected to deal with them. It is VERY difficult. I have seen the same Psychiatrist for going on ten years now. Am I ashamed that I need this continued help? Not at all. Talking to someone is very LIBERATING it HELPS us cope with things we cannot understand. It is very confusing that a police officer treated you the way they did, very sad. Please don't give up! Hold your head up high and start thinking that you are special and important, and if nobody believes you, that IS OK, believe it yourself, feel it every single day, say it to yourself in front of a mirror. Please hang in and try to get help. I don't know where you live, but many hospitals have excellent psychiatric assistance, and there are many HELP LINES that you can take advantage of. A BIG BEAR HUG from me, and please hang in...

Please call a help line. Suicide is horrible and is not the answer. I know someone that took that route and nothing good came out of it. Tell your parents that you are thinking those thoughts. If you do go that route, the rapist wins . You're better than that. Hold your head up and survive. You can join groups and maybe help save someone else. My heart breaks for you but can relate to how you feel. My daughter had a friend that took his life and it forever changed her. You Got This!
