My Life is a Mess

...See more So this is my first time being this open about this, but I feel safe enough to do so here. I was rape victim back in late July of last year. The person was coworker and a friend of mine, someone I thought I could trust. After what happened, and I reported the incident to the police, other coworkers found out what I was accusing this person of and about half the people I worked with turned their backs on me. I had very few friends, I spoke with management but nothing really came out of it, the cops didn't do much and I eventually had to quit my job because of the stress of the situation. I tried finding a new job, but got fired and my boyfriend and I fought constantly. He knew what had happened and started out supportive and kind and then became frustrated because he didn't know what else to do to help. I became angry and resentful, pushing everyone away. I became anorexic and developed insomnia. At the end of May thins year, I finally sought help and have drastically improved since then. I have a new job, I'm up and cleaning the house, I spend time with the friends I have left and I've found some new hobbies. However, my boyfriend just told me last night that he is considering leaving me. It seems that I got better too late.. he says everything that happened put a major toll on him as well and he's not sure he has the time or energy to fight for us despite his claim that he still loves me. He just says he's not happy.. but I'm so much better now. I'm the woman I want to be and I thought that he wanted the same things.. I don't get it.. I feel sad and lost.. I'm still proud of myself.. but I don't want to lose this relationship. I don't know what to do..
