I am sorry for what you are going through, it is difficult enough to be raped, but to have nobody to tell or help you through it is even tougher.
If there is someone a friend or family member who you feel comfortable telling I think it may help you. I can tell you this you need to talk to someone about it. There is no timeline for getting over being raped. I spent six years trying to pretend it didn't happen to me and it didn't make it go away. Reaching out here is a start, if you need someone to talk to you can private message me also. What happened to you is not your fault, Getting it out and having someone you trust to listen is a good first step.

i'm sorry that happened to you and i'm sorry that you're going through as tough time right now.....first i don't think you cna just "get over" rape...i think you come to accept it and it can take a long time to do that and the recovery process can take long, too........don't feel liek you should "get over" it......i know it's scary but you need to tell your parents....they may react differently than you want them to, but the fact that they know can help you......i know it's scary to do, but eventually they'll find out....and i really think you should think about seeing a counselor/therapist....maybe one who specializes if rape/sexual assault.....they can help you deal with these feelings...hope this helps!! feel free to contatc me id you need anything!!!!!

I am so sorry for what you are going through right now. I am not over mine and it has been 11 years. You will learn to accept it but I do know it may take a long time to get over it tho. Its a process which takes time. It is not your fault for what happened to you. I am here if you ever need to talk.

I agree with the others and mostly wanted to say hi and welcome.

It may have been a long time ago, but the trauma of it remains and can have a massive impact on your life. Counselling can help, as can talking about it here and with friends you trust.

It's a hard thing to talk about, especially with your parents, but I suspect they may be more supportive than you might expect. It's good to think carefully about who you tell and how much. You need to feel safe with what you say, even here.

Good luck and well done for having the courage to take this step.

Unfortunately you cannot just get over it. I am not over it and I too was raped at age 12 and 13. It is definitely beneficial to talk about it as it can help you heal. Glad you decided to join. I understand your reservations of telling the whole story; I can't. I think fear and feeling ashamed keeps most of us quite, but I hope you find the strength to reach out to those you trust.

Everyone heals in their own way and own time. Nobody should judge that. You kind of have to be the one to assess who to tell, but you certainly should not go it alone. Sometimes counselors are the best. They can help guide you as to who to open up to. Sometimes you can find free counseling through churches and support groups. I would hate to tell you to go tell someone without knowing them or the situation and your relationship with them. In some cases it can be the best thing you ever do, or it can be devistating. You can get past this, but there can be lasting effects too. It is important to know how to get there and manage that. I like this site because when you are helping others, it seems like something good and meaningful can come from something so awful and that gives you your power back, the power that someone had no right to take and take and take. You have the power to take that back. Bless you and good luck!

I think, Hope, that you might not have been able to mentally/emotionally deal with WHAT happened WHEN it happened for some reason. You are seven years older now, and enough time has passed that your mind is now dealing with the emotions.

Thanks to everyone i truely did not think many would write back. I agree with all of you and i am hopeing to try and talk to someone about this very soon. I feel as though until i do i just can not get my life in line but you know what they say "just take one step at a time" thanks again :)
