advice?

[Unregistered]

I am seeking advice on something I know since it doesn't say my name here i can say what i want. well see back in 1994 or 1995 i don't remember which year cause both years were basically just bad as hell for me. I am 25 now its 2006. I was raped around that time and I am just starting now to remember an lot of it and i do get scared remembering it so i don't know what i can do to get me to remember more cause i really want to put him in jail even though i know i need proof and crap but i don't know how i can get it see ihave had detectives check in on this at one point but they never did anything further for it cause i was confused at that time and i couldn't determine what had really happened to me but ever since then i have been having bad memories of it especially in my sleep. I am not sure who but i do get reminded of it i guess i just need some advice on how to go about this i get chicken when i even want to talk with the cops of this since its been so long and i just wanted to cry when the cop asked why i waited this long the reason i waited is cause i had gotten sick with bipolar after and that definitly would not look good when i am trying to put someone away for raping me so it was why i never went back to them i thought they would just think i am an crazy person just like they tried to make me look like at school but it was right in front of their eyes the guy kept trying to hit me and shit and they still wouldn't believe me they thought he was just getting mad cause of what i said about him. my life is just so fucked up by this shit now its hard to even get closer to people and i just want closure to it and lately i have been thinking a lot of suicide as well but i don't want to do that cause its an cop out and i am letting him win the thing i am asking if anyone knows how i can get them to confess or something or how i should go about this so i wouldn't drive myself insane.

I don't what I could tell you, but I know what it's like to have no one believe you in this city! The University of Washington medical center has a really good, or used to, mental health facility with counselours! The guy trying to abuse you with people watching and doing nothing to help you doesn't surprise me, and yeah it sucks! Try going to Harborview mental health center and getting a referal to UW! It's not unusual to have a delayed reaction considering you were about, what, 14 at the time? Suicide is not the answer, ok? Trust me on this! You know, the Northwest aids foundation has a lot of great access to help steer you as well Good Luck! the Best!

Or you could move to Texas, and never, ever, EVER shut up about it on a Seattle webboard.

Lots of free time in Texas, evidently. So much culture that the most interesting thing to do 'round these parts is complain about where you used to live.

Damn, i! The guy might be an ass about the whole Seattle issue, but judging by his response to Unregistered, at least his heart's in the right place about the important shit.
