Okay, does anyone else ever feel like they need to talk about their rape and find that others are not receptive to listen. Like, my friends notice if I'm down, and they'll ask me about it, but if I say what's on my mind they just blow me off. It's not like you can say you want to talk about being raped. I can't even say the word rape to most of my friends. I just want someone I know to ask questions, and normalise it almost you know? People can't comprehend how hard it is to get over, especially without support and I don't want to push away my friends by being a pain.

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.

Try and find a good counsellor via rape crisis/ rape support services in your area, you'll be able to say anything you like to them and they won't freak out about it.
I used to think I was also but one of my cousins told me the reason people shy away is cause the love you and hate seeing you in pain and they don't quite know how to respond to all the emotion that comes, also they don't want to say anything to upset us or ask the wrong questions.
it's weird right ..you think your friends are with you through thick and thin but when it comes to the taboo of R--- they and most of society can't handle the ugly truth that this crime is very real and affects normal people everyday.
I'm soo sorry this hurts you...I'm with you though, as are many others here on DS...it's a hard thing to handle and it hurts like crazy when you feel that type of emotional abandonment from your friends and family.
I'm here anytime you want to talk ...I fell the same way all the time so please feel free to discuss anything you like.
Hope you feel better!
Hugs and Butterfly Kisses!
