Feelings after the event
Hi, this is my first post in this app. A few weeks ago, I was raped and started to take EMDR treatment. It is not traumatic that much and I don't think it much anymore. But, I feel worthless and demoralized ;lost my self esteem. I still cry some nights because of this worthless feeling. Even I think to end my life. I have no dreams for future and I have no goals to live for. I don't know what I would do to start over
Rape is never the victim's fault... but I think you already knew that. You still have those feelings, and that's normal. Feelings aren't exactly rational, and they're there even when they make no sense. It's okay to feel about this. It's human.
Try talking to a friend. A few weeks ago, I had similar feelings about self-harm tendencies that... I didn't actually have. I only felt ashamed of it, even though it wasn't there. After talking to some friends and letting myself cry a bit, I felt like myself again.
