I would talk to your therapist further or if need be get another Dr. involved. Maybe there is some medication that you can take to help you through this. I am sorry you are going through it, but it does appear that you are trying to help yourself and that is a first step to being able to deal with it. :grouphug:

Has your therapist given you any suggestions for dealing with the flashbacks you get outside of the therapy sessions? I wonder, also, if your therapist might be able to link you up with someone else who has journeyed through coping with rape and its after effects. It helps so much to talk to someone else who has had a similar experience and has made it through, so to speak, to the other side. They can share how they coped, what helped, how long it lasted, etc.

I'm so sorry that your going through this. I understand how stress can really cause your IC to flare up. I can't even imagine what your going through. I will keep you in my prayers. Chelsey

I feel so bad for you. I cannot even imagine what it must be like for you. I'm sure the stress of it is triggering your IC flares. Are there any support groups available in your area for rape victims? Maybe talking about it in such a setting would be helpful. Take care of yourself! You'll be in my prayers.

Are you on any medications to help with the stress? If not, I suggest you talk to your doctor about taking something to help.

Warm hugs,

I am so sorry about the flashbacks. I can't begin to imagine how horrible that would be. I have no idea how to help you. I just want you to know that I care. Does the therapy help? If not maybe that's not the best option for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you feel better soon.
