I'm in need of a bit of advice, I've been struggling for a couple of years with panic and anxiety. I was terrible with it when I first went to uni last September, but going back this year was much easier. I felt like I was getting better, and I was far less depressed with more to look forward to and a better attitude towards everything going on with my life, I was feeling good about my course, and I'd just moved in with my boyfriend. I'm far worse than I've been for a long time, at the moment, and I feel like it has a lot to do with being raped during a panic attack just outside my flat a couple of months ago.
I worry all the time about being on my own, whether I'm out or in the house. I can't sleep for nightmares and waking up with panic attacks. I worry about going out and being in put in a situation where someone notices I'm particularly vulnerable. I find it hard to concentrate on anything or manage everyday activities. I haven't been able to tell anyone other than my boyfriend about what happened to me, and I'm not how much good it would do me to talk about it with people who might judge me or worry about me. I hate feeling like I shouldn't trust anyone, and I hate being exhausted thinking about something that should never have happened.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
