PTSD memories flooding back

Post Reply New Topic

Hi I occasionally have Post traumatic stress memories flooding back as if its all happening again. I have been the victim of rape a few times due to being naive and innocent. At times like these all I can do is lie in bed re living the nightmare. Not sure how to get rid of it for good. It will take a few days to go away seems to get less and less over the years the duration not the Intensity. First time it happened it was 2 months of hell. Wish I could erase those memories and be free.

Are you seeing a professional about this?

Yes obviously seeing a professional is the thing to do. However I have major trust issues, can't talk about the issue and this is the second time I have ever mentioned it to anyone. The first time was many years ago I told my boyfriend at the time he just totally lost it in a fit of rage, rang my family who denied it and said I must be making it up. I am unable to talk about it and go completely mute. So just trying to work through some of it on my own at the moment. Any ideas for how to make it easier???
