sick of feeling flat. Figured another reason i'm so down lately. Is got letter from my solicitor about hearing- the offender has declined to be a part of it. But only found out today- have been worrying for awhile. but still worried about hearing, don't know what they'll ask- it'll be like reliving it all over again!!!

It's hard enough at the best of times to deal with whats happened, let alone in a room full of people. Don't know how i'm going to react- i'll freeze and won't be able to answer any of their questions. I'm feeling sick now just thinking about it.

Please help me and give me some advice on how to deal with this whole situation.

You must feel quite traumatised by the whole thing. I can't offer much advice but since its something you'll have to do take a few deep breaths before the hearing and just answer the questions as they ask them.

Hope all goes well and take care of yourself esp.

If you have to go to court, ask for a closed court so there is only the minimum number of people there to hear your testimony.

Go Esp!!!
