Hi! I was raped back in February and have been slowly recovering.
As a result of my rape, I didn't cope well with school and have received an extension on a HUGE project. I need a little help with my project.
If you could just answer this post you would be doing so.
What are the three areas of immediate/highest priority did you need help with in recovery?
Can you come up with three areas that you feel you did not find the help you needed? (can be the same as the first question)
How did you find DS or whatever recovery venues you are using?
I want to either create a program that targets the areas that are harder to access or missing from rape recovery venues or create a program that helps people know where to got to access recovery venues.
Yes, this is indeed a school project. I think it will greatly help me in my recovery process.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
I hope your prject goes great and that you get a really good grade!!!
Triggers-I don't know how to handle them myself. You can't talk yourself down from a trigger very well. My boyfriend helps me talk down from them while still inflicting the trigger, hence giving me the control that I need to start moving past the triggers.
Anxiety-I have an innate fear of absolutely everything and it has changed every aspect of everything I can and cannot do. It changed my life and me in a negative way and it's one of the first things I want to get a hold of.
Sleeping- I have horrible nightmares every single night that make me not able to sleep very well at all.
I found DS through a search engine on google also. I found my counselor through the internet and a person I am in contact with who went there when it happened to her a long time ago. I haven't been to counseling long enough to know if that is going to help at all.
DS hasn't helped me with my three main concerns, there's no way it could.
And my boyfriend has by far been the biggest help with my triggers and anxiety.
