When I was 15 years old, I was raped by two men. They stole my virginity and gave me herpes. I was angry for a long time, but I couldn't do anything w/ that anger so turned it to shame... at least with shame I can punish someone...myself. that was 13 years ago and i now take daily Valtrex. I am grateful for the meds, but everyday when I take my pill, it is a reminder and brings so many nagative feelings. I try to stay positive, some days are harder than others. I pray God will take it away...
