I know what you mean. Good for you for writing it.

Actually writing the post felt liberating, and even though I can't completely disregard and get rid of the voices inside who is telling me to feel shameful and guilty, I am definitely on the way.

The details aren't needed because you don't need to prove to anybody that what happened to you was a real sexual assault. What I learned was that those nagging voices didn't belong to me they belonged primarily to my boyfriend before he raped me so that I would feel like I was the only one to blame and to a lesser extent they belonged to people I cared about who thought they were giving me helpful advice which would keep me safe.
