Can someone tell me i am brave and not stupid? I have hopefully done the right thing. Can you judge for me? I have finally told someone what it felt like to have an ex-boyfriend rape me 20 years back. Not only that but i told a male. Now i've opened up how do i carry on because if i don't i've been threatened with psychiatry, i WILL NOT and i say that really strongly, see them. Where would you start? What i told him today was really tough, i feel a bit better doing it but not much. In fairness i thought he would laugh or smile but he didn't. He took me seriously. I am sort of relieved but sort of terrified. I was nearly sick by what i said today. I see him in a week, do you think i should? I am so frightened of seeing psychiatry. I know this has to stop. Thanks and sorry!
