[jls2011]

I have been raped by as a family member but i don't want to turn them in... How do I cope with these feelings I now have? (Depression, Rage, Nervous, Anxiety)

Dont Worry about it, I dont feel sorry for you. there is nothing Wrong in you and its not your fault the only person who needs help is that sick minded rapist. Y are u feeling bad just be good to other people feed those who are hungery and help those who are needy and Bow down to one that is GOD and only fear Him alone, all anxity and depression will leave u.

let me start by letting you know that i have been raped as well, not by a family member but molested by a family member.

what you need is therapy.. find a therapist, have a couple of sessions. make sure you find one that you are comfortable with!! this is extremely important because rape is a very sensitive topic! the right combination of therapy and meds can help with the after effects of rape like depression, suicidal thoughts, anger, rage, nightmares, etc.

hope this helps!

remember- you're not alone!!

I am so sorry this has happened to you. What you are feeling are normal responses to being traumatized. You are also likely experiencing Rape Trauma Syndrome. Please do not go through this alone. There are many organizations that can help you work through the emotions and feelings that you are having.

I have extensive training in sexual assault and domestic violence and I would like to help you in any way i can.

Do you live in the same house as the abuser, can you indicate your age, To cope it is good to talk to a therapist ,start off with your Doctor and ask for a referral ,. You may want to consider that he could do it again to someone else, that may help you go to the authorities. I am sorry this happened to you, it is a hard thing to go through, when you feel up to it come back and talk. you can send a private message to us if you want to talk privatly .
