Rape Support Group
If you or someone you know has been the victim of rape, this is the place to find support and get advice. If you want, discuss your experience, share your feelings, and meet others going through a similar situation.
I've just caught myself doing this and I've just realised it's something I've done since I can remember (I was attacked at a very young age).
I find myself going into a trance thinking about people who don't exist asking me 'Did he rape you?' and I will keep saying it out loud over and over again.
The people who ask me are people who are boyfriends (who don't exist) and people of authority eg, police, doctors or friends who don't exist.
When they ask 'Did he rape you?' sometimes they are refering to my brother who did it, more often they are refering to my ex who nearly did but most of the time they are refering to (again) people who only exist in my mind and it's almost always a man who asks me.
When I talk about it I very rarely use the 'R' word.
This happens even when I'm having a good day too which is a bit strange.
Do you think it's some kind of coping mechanism?
Does anything similar happen to anyone else?

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 have caught myself doing something very similar but the people in my day dreams I was coming clean with were real people in my life. I have a lot of 'standard' day dreams I used, in most of them I am someone akin to a comic book hero. They make me feel better, I have done that since I was a very little kid and I usually find myself doing it at night right before I fall asleep.
