A few months ago, I was attacked on my way home from work. I was shaken up but soon got over it. Then, I lied to my fbest friend that I was raped. I know it was a sick thing to do and I hate myself. I only told my best friend so no one got in trouble or hurt by my lies, and recently I owned up to my friend that this never happened, I wasn't right in the head and I was completely messed up. I don't know why I did it. I don't know why I had to say something so stupid and so serious and now I really don't deserve anything nice or any love because of what I've done. I have owned up and my best friend says that it's understandable, and that I should move on and put the past in the past. But I simply can't. I hate myself. I don't know what to do anymore.

Is It Normal?

    ..It happens we all tell lies to protect ourselves and stuff like that. Its a good thing you cleared it up. Your not a horrible person. Dont hate yourself you might feel ashamed of the past you but your only human and we all make mistakes we regret but thats because were not perfect and so move on from it and try to be a better person.

    Wait. Is your friend telling you to put the lie in the past, or the fact that you got attacked in the past?

        First, you're friend is a fucking asshole for telling you to get over being raped. No real friend would say that to you.

        From what I know, I think it's normal for a rape victim to lie about being raped, but this shouldn't be the case, because you should tell the police about what happened. It's normal to be traumatized about being raped, but you shouldn't hate yourself; you have no need to hate yourself.
