Question i am writing you in hopes to get some anwsers. i have been raped numerous times by the same individual over the past few years, now i was aware of several times but lately there seems to be more memories popping up in my head that i wasen't aware of. There seem to be more ocasions, now is this normal for me to be remembering more incoidents? I am having a real difficult time dealing with this my emotions are all over the board i keep re- living these events and i do not know how to deal with this. I have starting cutting my self, why i am un-sure of what to do to fix this problem. If there is anything that you know of that could possibly help me out on how to make this go away, why I can't get this stuff out of my head, why i am now hurting my self which i am extremely ashamed of. Any advice would help. Thank you.
Answer Lisa, your posted question gravely concerns me.
I understand that you are ashamed of the cutting, but I am worried about your health and your safety.
Please go see your doctor. Cuts can get infected so easily and with MRSA and other superbugs out there these days, it can become a serious problem. Not to mention the fact that cutting in and of itself can be dangerous and life threatening. Please seek professional medical help immediately.
When you go to the doctor, please tell them what you have just asked here. Please explain to them that you have been raped repeatedly by the same individual and that you have repressed memories of even more incidents. Please allow them to get you the help that you so badly need. If this is your cry for help, then please hear my answer. Save your life today, and go see your trusted medical professional. This isn't going to go away on it's own. This isn't go to change by itself. We can't wish this away or ignore it. You were brave enough to write it here. Please be brave some more and get yourself the help that you need.
