How long will it take me ? : (
About a year and a half ago, I was raped at a party. I've told people about it but it took me a very long time to even tell anyone. Now, i can't sleep on beds that have flower sheets on them bc it reminds me of my rape or the smell of beer reminds me of it and cologne and whatnot. Even with my boyfriend i can barely make it through kissig him without freaking out and screaming. I also have to sleep with the lights on now and can't go anywhere alone even to a school bathroom because I am so afraid. Is this normal? How long will it take this to go away?
