I was assaulted about a month ago and ever since it happened I cannot get physically close with anyone. This is very unusual for me because I usually have to problems with giving affection.
This morning dad went to give me a hug and it was the scariest feeling in the world. I idolize my father so this is a big problem for me. As long as there is no physical closeness then I'm fine....but any physical stuff and I'm freaking out. My dad is the only man I trust...and it feels as if my feelings are screwing with me...I feel like I'm just a mess.

Because I don't have my own transportation and it's a free service to go to the local rape crisis center, county transportation will not take me there.
I have a counselor...just started and in that first session we had to do my treatment plan...I see her tomorrow...then I can talk with her...tell her everything. It's really hard when you have to wait...

I am sorry Lex! Sometimes I can't bear my husband to hug me (you will understand how that must affect me....) so I do know what you are feeling and how scary it must be.
I hope working it through with your counsellor helps.
