I don't know how to feel anymore


Question Posted Wednesday August 3 2016, 9:24 am

I am a 23 year old female going through a really rough patch. Two months ago I had been highjacked, taken and raped by three men. I'd survived this unharmed only my belongings were taken. My life has become so different, i feel different my parents have become so protective, i no longer have a job because of fear and transportation problems. My boyfriend broke up with me last week, we had been together for six years, he left because he didn't like the person that I was with at the time of the highjacking. I never cheated, the guy was just a friend and I am thankful he had been with me through my ordeal. I am so unhappy all the time, i sit waiting and knowing that because of this issue I could have HIV, i miss my boyfriend and I miss my old life and sense of freedom, i cry all the time. And don't know how to ease the pain. How can I move on from this?

I'm so sorry you went through this. Please understand you are not at fault in this in any way and you did nothing to cause this to happen to you. This is also the type of trauma that one does not recover from without professional help. You just can't block it out it has be dealt within a proper manner.

I would like you to call an organization called RAINN stands for Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline, accessible 24/7 by phone (800.656.HOPE) and online (online.rainn.org). They work closely with more than 1,000 local sexual assault service providers to offer confidential support services to survivors regardless of where they are in their recovery. Their telephone and online hotlines have helped more than 2.25 million survivors.

When you call RAINN you are connect to a local center in your area who can help you find the professional you need to put this awful trauma behind you properly and regain your former life.

It doesn't happen overnight but it starts with one phone call to 1-800-656-HOPE. Please call them I know they can help you.
