But when we do talk about rape, we talk about rape culture, the rape myths, that the blame is always the rapist, about consent, about stories of individuals harrowing experiences, but something we don\u2019t talk about enough is what it feels like to live as a survivor of rape, dealing with the trauma of what happened to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">We don\u2019t talk about how your life turns upside down from that moment onwards. Or even years later, when you finally unlock that box and accept what happened, and you go from a life led by blocking out the trauma for so long, to it spilling out everywhere and now it\u2019s too late to do anything but pick up the pieces. Everything is different. Even when you deal with the trauma years down the line, it\u2019s like it happened yesterday, and all of a sudden it consumes your life in a way you never imagined it could, changing every view and every perspective within you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">I speak about the years later reference as that situational character is me. It took me 3 years to understand, accept and realise what happened to me, and in those 3 years I kept a tight lid on the locked box of that trauma in the back of my brain, not allowing myself to even peek inside, until a few months ago, when all the media we consume was surrounded in the anguish and sadness of the Sarah Everard case. And before I even knew I\u2019d been looking over at the box, it exploded inside of my brain, smashing every possibility of locking it back away and tainting every corner of my brain with its poison. It\u2019s been around three months since that box exploded, and though the dust has settled and the scene is calm, the walls are stained with the memories and the emotions, the events noted and spread around my brain like a disease developing too fast to even catch up to. And to be honest, it\u2019s really, really hard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me how much I\u2019d despise to even look at or say the word rape. Even looking at it sat there on my screen I feel dirty. I feel like I\u2019ve used the worst swear word, like I\u2019ve said the most offensive term known to man. But that\u2019s the truth of it, and it might have taken my three years to grasp that, but at the end of the day, rape is rape. Growing up, rape was such a taboo word, it was this serious thing that you whispered when you said it, not daring to say it loud enough to be heard mentioning such a thing. I was taught the many rape myths that hinder my acceptance and recovery to this day, myths like I should have been able to fight them off, that I should have been smarter, known better than to end up in that situation, screamed out, even the myths down to knowing what happened was rape at the time. I grew up hearing the awful stories of other survivors, thinking \u201cthat will never be me, I\u2019m a strong woman, I wouldn\u2019t let anyone hurt me, I\u2019d fight them off and scream for help. I\u2019d report it straight away and get the justice I deserve\u201d and to even remember that that\u2019s how I thought about the possibility of being raped makes me cringe at the naivety. You can\u2019t stop someone and fight someone off you when you\u2019re unconscious. You can\u2019t scream when you\u2019re not awake. You can\u2019t report a crime you didn\u2019t understood had been committed. No one told me how everything I thought I knew and believed was wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me how much I\u2019d resent the fact I\u2019m a survivor. A victim. How id feel ashamed and embarrassed to even utter those words about myself, how can I be a victim of a silent, unseen crime? I can\u2019t be a victim, I wasn\u2019t harmed or injured, I wasn\u2019t violently attacked in the dark by a stranger, I wasn\u2019t put into an unsafe situation against my will, I wasn\u2019t even aware of what happened, so how can that make me a victim, when there are so many others who have it worse? No one told me how I\u2019d feel this sense of gratefulness that my experience wasn\u2019t violent or brutal in comparison with the ones I\u2019ve heard all my life, and how I\u2019d feel almost lucky I got the better of the two bad options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me that the impostor syndrome I already felt everyday about my mental health would increase and make me feel constantly anxious that someone would catch me out, that I would be unveiled as a liar, that I was someone who misunderstood, that it was just a miscommunication. How everyday I\u2019d think of a new detail and go over and over it in my head like a video stuck on loop, and analyse if I could have made it up, simply just a figment of my imagination that I believed to be true. No one told me I\u2019d constantly re-watch the parts of that night I remember, hoping to see a glimpse of something that would validate my feelings, like the more I watched it the more real it would become and the more other people would be Believe me, that I\u2019d constantly be looking for an out to this feeling of being a fraud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me that I would come to loathe the pitying and sympathetic remarks that come with the retelling of the story. Practically shouting \u201cbut, it\u2019s okay, I\u2019m okay!\u201d At someone before I\u2019ve even finished telling them what happened, purely because I can\u2019t stand to be seen as weak anymore than I already feel for being a victim. How I\u2019d lie and say \u201coh it\u2019s fine\u201d or \u201cwell, these things happen\u201d constantly, as if the more I said the words the more I\u2019d believe in them myself. But then again, no one told me that on some days, I would crave that pity, that attention and validation that I should feel shit, that I should feel sorry for myself and that I\u2019m not a bad person, and feel as though if I tell someone new that it happened, maybe I will finally accept it as the truth and move on in my head. That no matter what someone\u2019s response is, mine will still be to shrug it off, and block out any form of emotion forming in me in order to be seen as strong and coping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me how when it came to my mental health I always wanted people to know I had a disorder and I almost wanted people to see me upset and feel sorry for me to validate that yeah, I did have it rough and sometimes I need help and that\u2019s okay. But when it came to discussing my rape, I wanted to be so cold and aloof about the situation that people would be impressed by how well I was coping, as if that would earn me the title of a rape survivor, because to survive, surely I need to be strong and unwavering in my response that it really is okay. That I needed to be fine with it straight away because, that\u2019s how recovering and accepting it works right? You just move on?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me the nightmares I\u2019d have every night, waking up screaming and crying after subconsciously watching myself be attacked again by faceless people or even people I knew. That id relive the memories I once suppressed so hard nearly everyday, and that some days would be so hard to deal with that I\u2019d simply break down crying at random intervals, simply because my brain was too sad and too full of the awfulness to not just let it Out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me how I\u2019d fear every situation I\u2019m in, if a stranger got too close my heart would pound, if it was dark and I was alone I\u2019d be as quick as humanly possible to get out and back to safety. That I\u2019d overthink every possibly outcome for every situation and reason with myself that I took every precaution possible should something awful happen to me. That I\u2019d hold my keys with my car key sticking out like a weapon until my knuckles were white whenever I had to walk to or from my car in the dark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me how I\u2019d feel embarrassed or ashamed whenever it was brought up. Having to tell those close to me brought on the utmost shame and guilt I\u2019ve ever felt. Because how can I have let this happen to myself and hurt my family? How can I have not told them sooner? All these questions that further the blame and guilt onto me, not even thinking for a second that the only person who should feel guilt and shame was my rapist. That he was the only person to blame for this, for all of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me how I\u2019d want to consume all the possible media on the subject of rape and sexual assault, hear other people\u2019s stories, watch tv shows and films with it as the main story-line, as if the more I watched other people go through this and see their reactions, the more mine would be validated. Just to know that I wasn\u2019t alone. That there was someone else feeling the same heartache as me and dealing with it in similar ways. And how sad that would make me too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">No one told me how the city that is the home of my attacker and also the place of the attack, the city I once loved and had so many great memories of would now be an entire red no-go zone, just the thought of walking around having to analyse every face I walked past and imagining scenarios of seeing him once again would fill me with dread and nausea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Being a rape survivor is one of the hardest and toughest things I\u2019ve ever had to go through with my mental health, and has shown me that despite being locked away for so long, has definitely shaped and influenced my decisions and actions over the last few years. I don\u2019t believe that we all grow from our trauma, or that what doesn\u2019t kill us makes us stronger. But I do believe we are all going through our own healing process in our own ways, and the best thing we can do for each other is empathize, listen and be present for one another. Understand and see the pain behind someone\u2019s eyes no matter how hard they try to hide it, and be there for them anyway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span class=\"s2\">If you need someone to speak to, please reach out.
