Rape / Sex Abuse Struggling With Rape/Sexual Abuse: If you have been raped or sexually abused, it’s not your fault. Being raped or sexually abused is a traumatic experience that often has ongoing effects that last for a long time afterwards. If it happens to you, it can affect the way you think and act to the point where you think it was your fault. It can make you dress differently, stop expressing your opinion, lose your self esteem, create a fear of leaving your house, and start many other negative patterns that can last your entire life. Sexual abuse and rape are not your fault. This realization is the first step to overcoming your anxieties. No matter how many times you re-play the scenario in your head, wondering what went wrong, you need to realize that there was nothing you could do differently that would have stopped the person. When you accept that fact, you will be on the path to a healthier life. However, now there is work to do. Even though the experience was out of your control, you do not have to let the effects take over your life. What happened was not your responsibility, but what happens afterwards is. No one but you can take control and seek help. Not only do you have to overcome your abuse, but others, including those close to you may not understand your experience. Therefore, you will have to help yourself and then help your partner, family, and everyone else you know understand too. This will be hard, but rewarding in the end. You will learn to tell your partner when you feel uncomfortable, and how to make sure you are not in a relationship based on someone else’s control. Reading the tips below will help you on your way to reclaiming your emotional and sexual life. Read them with an open mind, and don’t be afraid to try. Also, it is always helpful to talk to someone else, and a therapist or a group discussion can motivate you and help you move forward. Help is available. You don’t have to be alone.
