Am I OK in calling back and saying this is kind of an emergency? I'm not suicidal or anything like that, obviously, but I was raped (there, I said it) last month as a result of all this crap, and I really need some help. Does that make a difference, or am I out of luck unless I'm in danger of hurting myself? As of now, there is no sense of urgency coming from the receptionist, and I need a little urgency...
I'd err on the side of urgency and tell the receptionist it's an emergency.
There's no shame in not coming forward until now. Despite popular wisdom that women file bogus rape charges all of the time, statistics show that actual rape cases are often underreported. Women don't want to hurt friends or family members, are afraid they'll be blamed for allowing it to happen, be accused of making it up, etc.
You are a good person, and you are making great strides in learning to take care of yourself.
