All she wants 24/7 is SEX, SEX, AND MORE SEX. She is so obssesed with sex her whole family is worried about her. She even visited a shrink and she asked to have sex with him too. She is basically gone crazy. She wants to have sex with anyone she sees. If she doesn't recover soon they are going to have to send her to the mental asylum. No one in her family wants her to go away but they all want her to get better. Any advice?

 Take it from someone that was abused at the age of 15, its not the enjoyment of being raped, it is a defence mechanism.
You think that to fit in now, that is what people want from you. You are tarnished, but to be untarnished, you have to "put out"! Its a vicious circle, but its the way you feel.
Its not the right way to think, but you are so traumatised by it that you honestly have the wierdest thoughts going through your head.
There will come a time when she will start thinking about things again. But in the meantime you just have to be there for her and most certainly put her into therapy, even if she is kicking and screaming! This will help her deal with the issue at hand and also get her to speak to someone about how she is feeling and help her to see that what she is doing is wrong but that its not her fault! It is so important for her to realise that its not her fault and that not all people are like the one that did that to her.

reader, anonymous, writes (3 August 2007): I'm sure she didn't like being sexually abused in the slightest.Many people who are abused becoming sexually promiscuous. Her family needs to try putting her in therapy again. Professional counselling is the only thing that is going to help her in this, but I suspect maybe things might have to get worse before they get better. If she is really a danger to herself then perhaps being committed is the safest option for her?
