help needed for a rape survivor

As someone who has experienced trauma, let me just tell you congratulations. You are still here. If you're reading this comment, today marks the day you overcame adversity and a very horrific trauma in your life. You can do this. And when you want to cry, CRY. When you want to express how you feel, do so but in a healthy manner: write it out, or talk it out. I am so proud of you; it takes a lot to talk about something so detrimental. You, my new friend, are really inspiring. Feel free to contact me and talk, everything is on my profile.

It's okay, it does get better. As a survivor of something so traumatizing, I would say that the best way is switching to just- not caring. For a while. The best thing to do is to go to professional therapy. For me they did this thing called EMDR, which made me disassociate physical stimuli with that experience. good luck, take care, Ash.

I think MC said it well. Talking about it with professionals is a good idea, sometimes crying is good for you, never be too ashamed or embarrassed to cry, and you can deal with this, you are amazing, and you are much stronger than I was, talking to people about it.
I've also gone through the anger, and am still dealing with the random cries. I think the best thing to do with the anger, is to let it go. Don't hold on to it, or try to direct it into a good option, just let it go. I don't want to sound religious or preachy, especially since I'm not a part of any religion, but I will say that there is merit in forgiveness. Forgiving helps you move on with your life, and makes the acts less important.
As for the depression, time will help, but also, being around people, doing activities, and being involved in the life around you, these are great distractions. When you find you care more about the life around you than what happened, I think that may be when you truly start to move on.

I think you need someone to talk it out with, to go through all your stages with you, and then, when you can, You can forgive, I know, It sounds like a very hard thing to do, but it is better to aim for healing yourself than lingering on awful feelings.My suggestion, Would be to talk to someone who understands, anyone who you feel most comfortable with, If you have no one, I am more than happy to talk to you about if you need to.I really hope you can find peace inside yourself with this issue, as I can definitely understand how hard this is to deal with, Give me a message if you want to talk.
