I was raped repeatedly 2 years ago. It never really bothered me until about 1 year ago. Honestly, I was in a heavy amount of denial. But since I faced that I was raped, I went through the stages of depression, anxiety, anger, and then a mix of them. After I went through the mixed stage, I started having very frequent flashbacks. I throw my head back, pull out my hair, start yelling and instantly fall to the floor. I'm able to get up and resume whatever I was doing in a minute or so, but it happens constantly. I sometimes walk into my room and I can smell my rapist. I have vivid flashbacks and I can see him, hear him and even feel him grabbing me sometimes. I also have flashbacks that have absolutely nothing to do with him or being raped. Just other sorts of regrets I have, and they're just as violent and realistic as the other flashbacks. And I always think he's behind me, too. So I sit and stand against walls to avoid thinking he is directly behind me. Sometimes, I fall into a type of a blank stare. When this happens, it's like I'm day dreaming except they are very, very realistic. I can see, feel and hear the people/things I'm daydreaming about. When this happens, I have absolutely no sense of presence or time. I'm NOT where I am. I am deep in my mind, and I no longer see what's physically in front of me or anything. I'm completely gone. I also have had a couple encounters with dissociation. I'll be doing something at one point, and I'll 'come back' hours later with absolutely no recollection of what happened during that time. I do NOT have DID. What is going on? Please?
