flashbacks from rape
okay so its been a over a year and a half and im still having flashbacks about when i was raped at a party and they dont seem to be getting any better. i think in the past week i've had all my teachers come up to me and ask whats wrong and some even went as far as to tell the guidance department. my friends have also been telling me that i have been "zoning out" and i dont hear a word that they say to me. i mean im not trying to look upset (in fact im trying to look happy) but its just so hard with the rape like repeating over and over again in my head. i cant sleep anymore and im even starting to fail some subjects in school. i thought that it was supossed to get better since its been so long but it seems like its getting worse. maybe im just over reacting and should just try somehow to get over it already but its just so hard to forget. i dunno?
whats should i do to try t get rid of these especially during school
thanks
ps. im already in counseling.

Hey,
I am sorry that happened to you...but I know how you feel...I was raped over the summer and I have extremely horrible flashbacks...and they are horrible, and you probably know what I am talking about.
I am also seeing a councelor,and we are trying to work through it...and she told me that really the only way that I could get the flashbacks to go away is to work through it..through couceling and just talking about it.
The main thing really is to just talk about it, because I had never told anyone until about 2 months ago, and before I told anyone I was having more intense and more numerous flashbacks, but when I started talking and thinking about what happened things really started to cool down a bit.
Really I think the only thing that you can do is just give it time and talk...just don't hold anything inside, just get it all out.
I know you probably know all of that, but I just figured maybe it would help to hear it from someone who is going through the same thing.
Well, I really hope things go better for you, and if you ever need anything just drop it in my inbox.

Hey well first of your not in anyway over reacting. Getting raped is an extrememly scary thing that will be on your mind most of the time untill you talk to someone about it. It's good that your in counseling but are you fully communicating with your counseler? Try telling her that it is always on your mind 24/7 and ask her ways to help. Talk to other people you know who are close to you like your parents of friends. They usually know you the best and can help you get through times like these.
Hope I helped =)
