date rape is deffinately considered rape. dont hesitate to tell us your story, as we've all had our experiences with abuse. im not suprised you find it difficult to get over. alot of people dont realise how it effected them until weeks, months or years later x

Date RAPE is called rape for a reason. It is really hard to deal with because you feel like you had something to do with it, WHICH YOU DID NOT. Contact your local rape crisis center, you would be surprised the amount of resources they have.

date rape is definately rape, just as cazza said....and we are all here for you. sometimes it hard to talk about what happened but we're all very supportive here. i had the same reaction as you when i first joined...i felt comfortable with these people. its hard to just "get over" something like these. the feelings dont just disappear that easily. talking about it can bring those emotions up at first, but eventually it does help to work through it.

Definitely YES. Mine was a date rape, and it affected me A LOT, even though it didn't click in my head until years later. The biggest clue is that my sex life improved so much after dealing with that experience.

Yes absolutely. Take it easy on yourself! It does help to talk about it but I only do that here and with my counsellor. Take care hugs!!

I do not want to repeat the same things everyone has said, but please understand that: you have nothing to feel ashamed for, it was not your fault, you did nothing to cause it, could have done nothing to change it. (I like this one cause I always thought I could have until I realized that if I could have I would have), and you are not alone.

One of the detectives from my case (the only one who wasn't paid off and was on my side) said something very valuable. Date rape does not exist because rape is rape. Date rape is the judicial systems way of belittling an incredibly traumatizing event. It's society's way of dealing with something they don't know how to explain. Rape is rape, and putting the word date in front of it does not make it any less rape. I am so sorry alexp16 that this happened to you, and if you ever need someone to talk to and that goes for everyone I'm here.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

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...
