I spoke to Rape Crisis at lunch time so can't call them back this evening. I've googled and can't find any other help line I can call tonight. Am I missing something? I called somewhere else before but can't remember what it was called :(

I was put on the rape crisis waiting list months ago but nothing yet. Reluctant to go to my gp as i'm ashamed. And can't really afford to go private....

Www.pandys.org is an excellent online support forum for survivors. Can really recommend them.

Dont know if this would be any help but where i live you can self refer to talking therapies. You can ring them Gp doesnt have to refer. Im not sure if thats helpful as not sure if they would be qualified to deal with rape victims but perhaps they could point you in a service more appropriate. Sorry if this is not helpful just thought it might be a idea if you didnt want to discuss with Gp.

Please please go to gp and get some NHS counselling. You have nothing to be ashamed of at all in the slightest. I know you are blaming yourself and feeling shame but promise you it's entirely misplaced. You are not to blame. Please talk to your gp, counselling or therapy can be really really helpful. Look after yourself, and if you need someone who has been through what you have, I am more than happy to chat or listen to you whenever

Please try not to feel ashamed.
You did absolutely nothing wrong here.
You need some help and support and your GP may be able to help you.
Please do contact them.

Thank you both. I know I'm not coping anymore and do need to talk to someone. So I'll try to call my GP or self refer. Just feels scary it not being anonymous anymore.

I honestly can't imagine how scary that next step is.
But I really hope you can face it and beat it and get all the help you can.
I really do just want to reach through the screen and give you a massive ((((((HUG))))))
