I understand what you mean. everytime I see a news item about the place where I was attacked it triggers me. just know you arn't alone in this.

I know what you mean, I can't even go into the city where I was raped, the hard part is we dated for a while before i found out how sick he was and how mentally ill, so even my own home, my own basement, my own stairs have memories.. I don't have any advice, I'm going to be moving out this fall, hopefully across the country to start over.

Not only does this town give me flashbacks, but my new job does too. Seeing an "old flame" there recently nearly brought me to tears. To think this guy is out and about really makes me sick!

How frustrating...Maybe try to empower yourself, and exchange those negative thoughts for positive thoughts.

Don't let that old flame get to you. Try to restore your self-confidence...and let it shine.

I know, easier said than done...but it's a thought, and maybe you can try it.

    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...
