tired

[Nag51406]

I was raped almost 3 weeks ago. Since then I have been shutting down my anxiety and depression is at an all time low. I don't know what to do to get myself out of this. I normally teach dance classes but haven't taught in 3 weeks and I have to go back this week and I don't feel ready I'm scared that I am going to end up passing out or getting a panic attack. I keep getting panic attacks whenever I go outside. My thoughts are worse when I am alone or at night when its quiet. I'm just done trying to get my life back to a semi normal for me to go back to work. I barely sleep maybe 3-4 hours every night if I'm lucky. I have trouble eating bc I have no appetite or I feel nauseous. Every time I am outside I get these feelings of what if I just jump off this bridge or just swerve my car. I just needed to get this off my chest I feel like I am at my end. I have great support from friends that I didn't have the first time around but I still feel so alone.

Are you in therapy, there are some things you would be comfortable to discuss with therapists?

I am sorry you are going through this. I myself have experienced this and til this day have anxiety and panic attacks but I can say it can get better as the years go by with therapy and some help from people who have experienced the same thing.

I'm so sorry you are going through this.

There are hotlines you can call. Have you reached out to a professional for help.

Rape is trauma and your behaviors are trauma related.
