get a good therapist to help you with post traumatic stress disorder and OCD. medications can help. i hear there are 2 paths to take. be a victim for the rest of your life or be a survivor. you have already taken the steps to being a survivor! good for you! i applaud your strength and courage.

people that do these types of things are cowards. they prey on women who they think are defenseless. well he might have overpowered you physically. but in the longrun you will be stronger! a fighter a survivor! he will be a coward and people like him get caught in the longrun if he hasn't already and also people like him get what they got coming to them in JAIL! i know revenge is not a good attititude to ever take. it's about making yourself feel better. but just rest assure that he will be delt with and stand judgement in prison (he might just get a taste of his own medicine!) and by GOD! he will also for the rest of his life have to knock on doors no matter where he lives and tell everyone what kind of person he is. they have programs to alert the public for people like this.....

if you want the best relief there is...pray for him. pray for his sickness. hate the sin not the sinner. it's very VERY hard to do. but as you continue to do so. you will feel better. when you forgive you are forgiving for yourself! and for God!

you will be fine. I'll keep you in my prayers. put one foot in front of the other and face these things, you have the courage! we all do! and when you are on the other side of it, you will be even stronger!

as i said you are already a survivor and a fighter!

much love! Jay

Hi Sweetie,
I'm not sure I understand your post completely. You've been to the Health Dept. for what I assume are tests for HIV and other possible STDs. I'm not all that sure.........but I think what the Health Dept. MAY have been saying to you is that
ALL they can do for you is the testing. Any OTHER help, you are going to have to seek out on your own.
I will assume this rape was reported to the police and an investigation is under way? You should have been offered rape counseling at that time! If you weren't..........I would contact the police dept. who is handling your case and ask to speak to someone in their Sexual Crimes Unit. They should be able and willing to get you some help.
There also should be a Rape Victims support/hotline in your area. Look in the phone book, call 411, call your local hospital and speak with a Patient Advocate. All good sources to find help. As far as the OCD appearing AFTER the rape, I can't address that here with any authority at all. It is only my guess that OCD may very well be one of a score of things you will be faced with while you recover from this horror.
Do not hide from this g/f, which I know is easy for me to say, but you need to be stronger than the person who did this to you, which I think you are because you came here to us!
Try to find some help, and if you can't, come back and together we WILL find it for you!
We are ALL holding you in our arms.
Peace
