I'm 26 years old and when I was 16 I was gang raped by 5 boys. They beat me and hurt me, and even though most of the time I feel like I'm doing okay, my experience still comes back to haunt me, especially as I'm drifting off to sleep. I'm frustrated because there seems to be so much help available to victims (I hate that word!) of rape, but no advice on how to cope with the fear and pain of the torture that can go with it. Is there anybody out there who's had a similar experience? I've got so many questions going around in my head but there never seems to be any answers.

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...
I am in therapy and it helps, I do take pills to help me sleep and have been through sleep therapy to help rid myself of the nightmares.
I find writing does help me cope, so does talking with other people.
When I am going to sleep I try and put one good thought in my head and I keep that thought there.
Yes, there's so much "help" out there, but all they tell you to do is "go from point a to point b," but NEVER how to get past the obstacles in the way.
It's so frustrating that there's something that is so common in this world (rape), yet no one knows how to fix the damage it leaves.
It infuriates me to even think of those men, five of them! I'm so glad you've made it 10 years and held together. Please, never give up. Others that have been through it need to see your strength, and likewise. Never feel like you're worth nothing, because you can inspire others. Not everyone makes it as far as you have.
