There has been so much talk lately, mainly at work, about rape. I am a very private person, for the most part, and nobody knows about my past. It is actually a pretty big fault of mine, to an extent, because I don't deal with stuff completely. I was molested for years when I was a child, and raped when I was 16. It is always there, but usually under control. With all I have been hearing lately, the memories are just really vivid. I haven't been sleeping well at all. I have been praying a lot. Part of what I have been praying for is to help me feel. The only thing I usually can't control is feelings that have anything to do with my children. I am very guarded with everyone and everything else in my life. Well they were having a conversation today at work about a girl that was raped. It sent me over the edge. I started crying uncontrollably. My boss took me into her office. I calmed down a bit and went back out. They started the conversation again and once again, I broke down. I am assuming they have now figured out what was bothering me. Anyway, I am assuming this is probably a part of getting over it, but am so tired of dealing with this after so many years. I haven't been in therapy for awhile, and know I need to be going again, it just seems to be so redundant. I leave when it starts to get better and after awhile, it comes back. Does anyone have any advice????

Miray...
I'm so sorry you are going through such a rough time... jme/jmo If I stop therapy once I start feeling better, I'm not finishing up...it's incomplete and it will come back to hurt me. It's not easy to continue...but necessary if we are to get on more solid ground and have some assurance of remaining there. Please think about starting therapy again...the benefits of doing so can make such a difference in so many ways. Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing, ok? We Care... Catherine

-this therapy business is sort of like an oil change/servicing a vechicle on a regular basis---does that sort of make sense?--- if I can use that as an example. Once you start to feel better, you don't deal with the stuff and then your coping mechanisms become weak and you are blindsighted by information like someone else's rape, past, etc. I am experiencing the same cycle as you are. I hear you! Sending good thoughts your way! phoenix47baby
