Hi all
I'm new at this messaging but I'm in desperate help.
On December the 15th last year I was walking in my local area when I was sexually assulted from a stranger.
I did all the right things by reporting it to the police etc. Up to now my attacker has not been caught.
At night I see his face when I'm trying to sleep.  I haven't had a lot of sleep since and I don't want to rely on sleeping tablets.  This ordeal has haunted me that I don't feel that I'm in charge of my life.  Can anyone help me with suggestions on how to get a good night sleep and how I can I start to get my life back on track.
Blessed be.

It won't be easy.  If there are support groups in your area, contact one.  Don't hesitate to talk to friends.  Continue with your life, one step at a time, but don't try to bury or deny your feelings.  You've at least made a good start by posting here; hopefully others more qualified than I will have more input.

Bless you.

Strength to you Wiccafrog.  A very hard road, but as greenmonk said look for a support group.  Find someone to talk to on a professional basis to help you deal with the situation.  

But most of all know that it is not your fault in anyway, that the actions of the other person where a selfish act.  And even though it is hard to say, don't let the person cause you more fear as this give them and the act power over you.  Take on day at a time, get some help and be strong and forgiving to yourself.

Blessings to you,

Kath
