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.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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 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.
