You shouldn't shower or change your clothes before you are examined, so that no evidence is destroyed. Many women have a hard time reporting rape or sexual assault because they are embarrassed, in denial of what happened, just want to forget what happened, or think they caused it. It is very important to talk about all these feelings and all that you went through with an experienced counselor. Ask what the options are at your counseling center or Student Health Service. If you need something that your college doesn't offer, ask for some names of counselors or groups in the community.
Some colleges also offer group sessions for victims of rape and sexual assault.
Also, decide who in your family or among your friends can be supportive. There are some hotlines listed below. Just remember that resources are available for young women who have been through this. All rights reserved.
