I am a survivor. I know what it’s like to be the victim. I am now a Sexual Assault Victim’s Care Advocate. I have been certified as such since November 2000. I am currently a student who is specializing in trauma and abuse and the associated disorders and illnesses.

Experience
I am a survivor. So, I not only have book smarts but, personal experience with what rape is and how much it affects the victim and his or her loved ones.

Subject: i was raped

Question
i was raped about a year ago and i'm still not over it.. i cry all the time.. do i need help?

Answer
Yes, you need help.  I don't know your location, therefore, let me offer you this website www.rainn.org when you go to the site go to Get Help, then go to Find a Local Counseling Center.  Then all you have to do is put in your zip code or postal code and it will display options for you in your area.  
If you live outside the states let me know and I can get you a international link.
You may be still dealing with what we call Rape Trauma Syndrome (It goes in stages, much like the grieving process of death and dying). But healing from rape takes time and there's time frame for that healing.

But please seek professional help in your area, so that you can start to regain your life.

I wish you the best in your healing,
Kim
