Oh sweetheart, I went through that too and I agree that it is difficult. I was afraid to go to sleep too so I hear you. Can you schedule extra appointments to work on this?
Can you be in a support group with other survivors of rape? You need to keep hearing that this will eventually ease up. I know that exhaustion myself and it can be a challenge. You have to talk it out as much as you need to. You have to really understand that this is not your fault and to not blame yourself. Yes, many women go through this and you are not the only one so you have to be patient with yourself.

Oh, I know this is a big challenge, like I said, I have been through this but with therapy and time I slowly got a chance to calm down and even rest better.

I am here, know the difficult journey and offering support and listening.

((((Hugs)))))
