My last writing project in college was an assignment I created - a research paper entitled, "Psychology of a Rape Survivor." (It was definately one of the hardest things I ever did... the incompletion of this paper prolonged my college career by at least a year just because of how strong the memories & flashbacks were... like now...) I have on file, still, dozens of more rape books from this paper. I will share those later.
I am too tired now. My head is aching and I feel like throwing up. My eyes are burning. My body is really heavy and heated. I feel dirty.
Writing that list of books above just took everything out of me.
Dear God,
Please let me sleep tonight.

Hey, thanks for the link! Great list of books, too. You can go to Amazon and sign up to have a link to them so visitors to your blog can go directly there and purchase some of these books--an idea you might want to try.
Hi there,
Great list of books, I have some on the list. I remember reading one over and over when I was first raped. Then I read sections of different books. The used book store surprised me, many can be found there, if one is in your area. Check it out and make it a fun day, spoil yourself. I also wanted to say thank you for the link too, I will stop in to read your blog. Hope things are going well and enjoy the weekend. God Bless
Hi. You're so bold. Is this a blog that all of your friends have access to or is it anonymous? I can't imagine posting my thoughts for everyone to see. I think its great. I only own one of the books on your lists. If you had to choose one, which has been the most helpful? Do you watch movies or tv shows that contain sexual violence?
Thank you so very much. After my experience I feel it very necessary to read since no one around me understands what I am going through. I am very thankful to you!
Thank you so much for your list. I hope you are doing well. My heart goes out to you.
Thank you for the list of books you posted. I just recently decided to try to deal with what happened to me years ago. I want to do it at my own pace and I feel that reading may be the safest and easiest way to begin this long and difficult road to healing. Thank you so much for sharing with others what has helped you along the way. I hope it does for me as well.
