This year has been a very traumatic year for me.
In January, my best friend's ex boyfriend sexually assaulted me and I told no one about it except for her. In march, my mother went into cardiac arrest while with only me four states away from our home state and was in the hospital for a month and still is suffering from it. I always pushed those two events out of my mind, but recently they both have been keeping me restless. Because recently, my best friend's ex has been blackmailing me about the incident and threatening me. I've told a few people about this, but it is keeping me awake at night and I don't eat. My family has mentioned a change in my attitude and I don't want to tell them what has been going on. I feel so alone, like no one is here for me and nothing can possibly make this better.
In addition to these issues, I have an extremely negative friend who I had developed feelings for and now he is treating me like dirt: calling me names, saying I have issues, and making things so much worse than they already are.
I called the Women Helping Women hotline and received some assistance. She told me since the assault happened so long ago, she was not sure if the police could do anything about it. I feel trapped and don;t know what to do.
