The other week some of the people I work with were joking around, I didn't hear the first part of the conversation, just throwing rape around like it is just like any other four letter word. I wasn't raped so why did it affect me so much?

I was watching a choral concert that my little sister was in the other week when, as I listend and looked around, I saw an expression on one of the chorus member's face. The thought that hit me right away was "I know that look. I've felt that look." But I don't want to say or do the wrong thing in case I am wrong. Unfortunately there hasn't been enough time to think things through, while my family and I prepare for christmas, so I don't know what  to do. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I had a nightmare last night which made my roomate, who doesn't know what happened to me, think that the noises that I was making were sex noises. What should I do? I don't want him to think that but I can't tell him what happened to me.
