Impact of Rape

Physical Symptoms

"I couldn't sleep through the night. I had trouble falling asleep and then I would wake up every night at the same time that the rape happened."

Some victims have physical symptoms, such as sleep disturbances, headaches, and stomachaches. You may find that it is very difficult to concentrate on routine activities. You may also experience changes in your sexuality, such as a loss of interest in sex or avoidance of sexual situations.
