When I was 17, I was sexually assaulted in school and nothing was ever done. Before that happened, I wanted to get married and have kids. But that incident ruined my life. I've never been with anyone and I'm terrified to let anyone close to me...family, friends, strangers...The thought scares the hell out of me. And what makes things worse is that I saw my attacker again and he recognized me. The sick bastard kept smiling at me.It turns out that he lives a few minutes away from my house. Because of him, I feel like I'm not alive anymore and that I'll also be alone bcuz of what he did to me. Is there anyone out there who's been able to have a relationship/have kids/married after a rape/sexual assault? How did you get over it? Will I always be alone and filled with so much pain and anger that I have to push everyone away bcuz I'm afraid of getting hurt by someone again? Or will I be able to move on with my life and be happy once again?

I have a daughter and a relationship. Both are very hard and at times it would be so easy to walk away. I know that i am alone, i only know one other person in my physical day to day events that went through anything similar to me. It makes it very hard to deal with or trust people. Counseling helped me a little. I used to be better than I am now. It will get easier for a while and then get bad again. Just try to find someone that you can trust. If you only find one person, that is a start and maybe someday to can add to that. Keep your head up.

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...
