counselor.........
so my therapist was sick of wednesday, and she cancelled our appointment.....i went to see a school counselor yesterday to talk about how i feel and what happened.....she was really nice but she kind of was blaming me and then not blaming me and then blaming me again and then not blaming.....so it made me feel even stupider.......she kept on saying that i should be really careful and think about what could happen to me....walking out of my house and basically that rape could happen to me anywhere and that made my PTSD sky rocket.....and then she said not to get scared of leaving my house....it was confusing and kind of frustrating.....i was looking to her for advice, not to be scared even more!!!!! i dunno....it felt good to talk, but it hurt.....i feel like i was just another person....i dunno......

Please do not feel bad. Often school counselors are ill-equipted/uneducated on how to deal with rape survivors, and even more so, with PTSD. Maybe remembering what your regular counselor says to you would be helpful. Hang in there!
