Rosa, thank you for sharing this very painful experience.  You are a role model for how to handle something so devastating.  I envy your strength.  Good luck, my thoughts are with you over the next few days.

Rosa, take care of yourself, and do what you have to do to get through this time. I'm glad you're in counseling and working out.  Hugs.

You are so brave to share this.  This will help with the healing and will help with the trauma.   I am so glad you shared what had occurred with this fine group of people, many of whom, obviously care so much about you.  NO ONE should have to go through this and TOO MANY do.  It sounds like you are doing all you can to nurture yourself and be proactive with your health.  The counseling will be painful but trauma can heal.....it will suck for awhile but it will get better.  It is sadder than I can say that he violated your trust.   Much love and healing to you!
   Sending healing prayers.............

My heart is just aching for you. I had a very similar experience as a freshman in college. I didn't deal with it as well as you are, and the emotional scars haunted me for 20 years until I dealt with the event. From my own experience, I want to reassure you that you are a very wise woman to act as you have described.  Good for you.  Send me a message with your email address if you want to chat.
Possibly probiotics would help with your gut issues?   Possibly giving yourself some extra care would help?? Bubble baths, long showers, curl up on the couch with a good book, listen to your favorite music, self-facial, manicure or pedicure, indulge in your favorite hobby, pick up a new hobby, long walks??? 

Send you healing energy.

Thank God you are ok. I am impressed with your clarity and the ability to take care of yourself after such a traumatic event. I pray for healing, physically and emotionally for you. I wish I could give you a big hug and lay my hands upon you.
I am glad you are on the appropriate meds, just keep up with the nausea meds and the carbs as you need them right now. Probiotics are a must with the antibiotic regimen. Fiber supplement too if diarrhea becomes a problem, sorry if tmi.
My heart is heavy, but I rejoice in your strength and grace through this terrible time. I am so glad you reached out.

With much love, Maria

UGH! I am SO PISSED that this happened to you! But, I am also so impressed with your handling of it.
I had a similar incident with someone who supposedly loved me....a long time ago and that was some serious baggage that I carried around in my head for a long time....because I didn't tell anyone or deal with it. I was too ashamed...low self-esteem, living at home, couldn't tell parents because (Gasp!) they might forbid me from seeing him anymore!!
At any rate...this is not about me, just know that you are not alone and that I admire your strength and courage to deal with it head on and ask for, and accept help.
YOU ARE EMPOWERING YOURSELF!!!
