Affecting my head - Rape - September 30th 2009, 07:34 AM

This thread has been labeled as triggering by the original poster or by a Moderator. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

Last year I got very drunk at a party and ended up lying on a bathroom floor. I remember a guy coming up behind me and raping me. I was too drunk to turn around or try and stop him, but I remember saying no more than once. I feel that it was my fault that I was raped because I was stupid enough to put myself in that vulnerable situation.

Now in my psychology class, we're studying forensic psychology and rape is our major project topic. It's too hard for me to sit and listen to our teacher talk about why rape occurs, but I can't just walk out either. I feel that I can't talk to my teacher about being raped because it would have to be reported to authority, and I know it was my fault that it happened.

Does anyone have any idea's about what I should do?

Thanks
