    It may help you to talk about it with an psychologist. Sometimes we have to think through an experience from all angles until it stop haunting us, because while it is something not discussed it is something menacing fot being not fully comprehended. It may be hard to listen to what I'm going to say, but this experience is part of your past. So it's better to become comfortable with what have happen. Not in a sense of forgiveness, but on a sense were the past can not reach you or harm you. You lived through it, now you have to tame it and get stronger as you should.

    BTW, it is really not important to remember what happened. Those "inconscious" theories are very out dated and trying to remember events that for some reason you haven't recollection can worsen things by creating false memories. It is important that you overcome your fear of what have happen and that you reassure yourself that you're fine now.

    Because you know it happened to you and you hate that it did.
    You ask yourself if it's you, if you did something to deserve it, if this could've been avoided.
    Are you seeing someone to help you?

    I know. It's okay. You are safe, aren't you? You live with someone I hope? If not, move in with a friend for a few weeks, temporarily. Get over your fear and try not to blame yourself for it. This isn't your fault. It is his. And he will be punished, one way or another. Have you reported him? You should. There's no reason to protect someone like that, especially if you know them. That'll bring you some closure, if not complete.

    @DozerDan, how can she be trained to hate, she was assaulted you c0ckpimple. Anyway, in the event of trauma like rape, sometimes the mind represses the event, in your case its coming pushing its way out. Go talk to a professional, please.

    Conscious vs. subconscious. You are repressing it from your conscious, as a defense mechanism, yet you still know exactly what happened and it will still continue to create an impact.

    Yeah I think not knowing is really worse in some ways for women... I have known a couple like that ... they spent years searching for the truth about what had happened.
