I have already been dealing with the memories of my rape that happened a year ago (if you read my journal you will see). I have been trying to distract myself that I would have a child right now if I did not have the abortion which was necessary medically and mentally. And now tonight he called. I havn't heard from him since this summer and now out of the blue he called. I hung up on him once I realized who he was and called my therapist. I am trying to stay in the here and now, and realize that happened a year ago, but all I want to do is curl up with xanax or sleeping pills and forget about it. How do you forget something when the assulter won't leave you alone?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It is much harder when the abuser constantly lets you know they are still there.I moved and changed my phone # he still found me.I know the nightmares and they can get bad.Do know it gets better, some heal slower than others.Take a deep breath and go to counseling even if can not yet talk about it, you can talk out your feelings on it first.I never had a pregnancy because of it due to being infertile.I know that deep in my heart if it did happen that way and it meant it was my only shot at motherhood, I don't think I would be able to go though the pregnancy.Know that you made the right decision for you and it will get better.There is no right and wrong for this and if you need a friend I am here.Talking helps even when it is hard.Also ( I know it might not work but ) get a protection order, at least if he comes over you can get him thrown in jail.I know they are hard to enforce but it gives you a bit more power over him and yourself.I sill have issues, but it is getting better just stay hopefull.Good luck and msg me if you need someone.
You could change your phone number, and make it unlisted.
Don't let him win....fight back....don't let him get over on you.
You need to protect yourself, physically and mentally.
Let us know how it turns out!
