I am 21. I have grown up believing that love anywhere anytime and driven by this feeling. I met a guy few months back. It was an instantaneous liking, from chats to coffee if only I knew then his intentions. One day he invited me for a drink and after 2 drinks I felt dizzy. I could feel him fondling over me. .Kissing me against my wishes but it didn’t go any further that day. I later thought that it was probably a sway away of emotions and to meet him once more. This time it didn’t take much as soon as I entered his home he locked the room and forced himself on me. He stripped me brutally, twisted my arm and finally took my virginity. I was scared to share this with anyone as I am scared of social stigma but still I get flashbacks of what happend with me. He treated me like a piece of flesh or sex object left me bleeding and this truth has changed my life. Not for good but for worse it seems.

Thank you so much for posting your story here and for sharing with us. Sharing can be overwhelming and I hope you know that people will read your story and feel less alone. In that same vain, you are not alone. The flashbacks – terrifying as they are – are normal. If you can find a therapist or a counselor to talk to, they can help you work through your emotions and even help reduce the flashbacks. Carrying it by yourself can be so hard but I do understand the fear of social stigma. If you can identify a small group of people, or even one person, to share with, it might help you lessen the load. Remember that you don’t have to share everything at once; you can share a piece and see what happened. It’s your story and you are in control of who knows what. What happened to you can be life changing but you can also work through it and heal. Things may not be the same, but there can still be good in the world.
At least you made it out alive and are safe and that he didn’t further hurt/kill you
