Hello,
My name is Jessica and I was raped two years ago. I have been going through alot latly. My one friend who is my best friend for life died April 11, 2010. That made me more sader. I then got the idea of injuring myself. Ive been since April 11, 2010. I cant stop its like I am addicted! I wanna stop but it helps me so much. Today I came home from school and found out my mom had a stroke and injured. I always here dont injure yourself! your emo! and I am not emo, ok I am a girl who went through a rape at the age of 11 by a 17 year old! I need help. please help me!???
Thanks,Jessica I really need help please i dont wanna hurt my self anymore.
Jessica, please tell someone whats happening. A parent, teacher, freind or family member. Someone you trust that can help you. Self injury only hurts you more and can cause life long problems. If this just started, it can be easier to get beyond it. The longer it happens the worse it gets. My Daughter injures and we are doing everything we can to help her. It just so happens, her name is also Jessica. My heart aches for you and the pain you are feeling. I’m sorry this is happening to you and I will remember you in my prayers. Again, please, please tell someone who can help you.
Kristy, I have told no one yet. I think my teachers are thinking I do because I always wear long sleve shirts and it is turning hot outside. I have been injuring myself for 7months. Almost a year. I dont know what else to do. Been through so much. Im scared. I wanna stop but I cant. The last time I did it was about 4 hours ago. And thanks for the care and support I really really truely need it.
Jessica,
The fact that you want help is a big step that should be celebrated!! I cannot tell you how much my heart aches for you.. I think it will really help to talk to someone about what has.. it isnt healthy to keep it inside, and hurting yourself is not going to make it go away. Rape is something that requires attention in order to recover. all i can say is that I hope you will seek help to help YOU. you are worth it. this is NOT your fault at all. You are beautiful and smart. get help, keep going, stay strong.
we’re here for you <3
I know im afraid to tell people. I dont really want too. My dad knows and a cuple people know on facebook but thats it (rape). I am scared to tell anyone about my cutting. I cant they will get upset. at me.
Hey Jessica, my name is Audrey. I’m 18 and I’ve been in a similar situation. I am SO saddened by your story. I very strongly encourage you to talk to an adult that you trust. That is the best way to heal. LOVE YOURSELF! Seek help! Demand it even. You are worthy of happiness. I’m not going to tell you not to hurt your self, but I can assure you that it doesn’t help in the long run. Please trust me. You sound like a strong, wonderful young woman who should have the best of everything. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. You can do it!
If you want to e-mail me, do it! rockettcollins@gmail.com
Hi, Audrey! Everyone I know is saddened by my story even though little people know. I told my theripst today, I just got home. She said that we were going to work on it. She said when I have the urge to hurt myself to hit a rubber band against my wrist. I have tried that before and for me It does’nt really work. I do try to love myself. But I am scared to. Well I just cant. I feel so much dirty still. I dont know?? But yea I cant really love myself yet.
Jessica, I am proud of you for having the courage to talk to your therapist. That took a lot of guts. You are on the right path. Stay posative and remember what happened to you is not your fault. I’m rooting for YOU!
Thanks. I told her but she told my dad and now my dad hates me. My rape was my fault maybe i deserved it? probaly. I hate myself. I hurt earlier when my dad went out.
Well, I bet your dad does not hate you. He doesnt get it I am sure. From my experience, I was totally unaware of SI and was really scared for my daughter. Some times I would react from fear and my daughter too thought I was mad but I was just scared and did not know how to help her. Give him some time, he has a lot to sort out. I know it will get better for you just hang in there and know you are not alone.
I know he doesn’t hate me but he is acting like it, He is very mad and upset with me. I tried to explain to him that I did it cause I was raped and my mom had a stroke and my Best Friend Amber died, and I was stressed and upset so I started to SI. I am not alone, I hear that alot. I am trying to hang in there it is just very, very hard for me, and I don’t know what else to do…….
