I'm finding life so difficult at the moment. I was raped less than four months ago, but felt I was coping ok. I was raped on my hen do, and I got married 6 weeks later, my husband was very supportive, now it feels as though it was such a big mistake. He is always shouting at me and I know he is looking at other women, I feel I just can't cope anymore, and I am constantly having panic attacks. I feel I really can't live my life anymore, it hurts so much, my life that I once thought was as near to perfect is now nothing, and I just wish I could disappear. I've never done this sort of thing before but I really don't know what to do, please help?

I am so sorry for the pain that you are going through...Please, get help...You need it...I know of a woman that this happened to and it haunted her for years....Find a Rape Crisis Center or seek out a place to talk to other women who have lived this hell in life....I wish I knew the words of comfort to send you, but I don't...I guess the best I can say is that time will heal or maybe that time will help fade this nightmare where you have been...Please remember that we are here to help you whenever you need it...I send you my love...
