I'm Really Depressed....

It's been since last two month when things started going down for me for the following reasons:

1. Study pressure
2. Being manipulated by other peers to do all the group tasks
3. A guy in relationship who was only in for his own benefits. He sexually assaulted me three times and it was the third time I realized that he actually violated my rights when I discussed this with other friends, my counselor and my doctor. I had to get morning after pill twice in two weeks. I've had my period 3 times in last 3 weeks because of this. This guy always berated me, made my accomplishments less, yelled at me, had anger issues and I feared him.

He manipulated and pressured me into doing his assignments and CV. However, when he failed the paper, the blame was on me. He came to my house (my fault here for letting him in) and sexually assaulted me as a revenge for failing the paper. As a result I reported him this time and he has been trespassed by the police.


I have been emotionally going downhill and don't see myself seeing any good future and feel I can't survive this life. I'm sick of being used by people and being a people pleaser. One of my so called friend ditched me because I chose a wrong guy and was mad at me for not listening to her. Another so called friend was in my life just because he need to pass this course we were in as a group where I had to do 75% of the assignment and after the assignment was over, and when I needed him to be there for me at my down time, I am simply called "Annoying".

I'm really sick of this. I really need to get out of this hell. Please help :( :( :(. I've been stuck in my room for the last 5 days since that assault happened. My eating and sleeping has been affected as a result of all this. I haven't been exercising or doing things that I normally do. I am seeing my counselor once a week but I think I need a lot more counseling. But I need to work on this people pleasing and getting manipulated by other people now.
 
Sorry things have gotten so overwhelming for you. My suggestion is to talk to your counselor about how to address the depression first. Is there a possibility you need more sessions with your counselor , it doesn't hurt to ask..
I know for me, when the depression hits, it's hard for me to see things clearly. Once the depression is manageable, then I can concentrate on the issues I need to work on... I know this is not what you wanted or needed... but I can't fix what is broken if I am not clear about what is broken. Don't know if that made sense or not. sorry.
It is a process. And we do get frustrated at how long something takes... believe me..if there was a magic pill for us... we'd take it... And possibly researching books to read on your issues helps too...
I'm sorry I ,or any one here, can not give you a quick way to do this... it is a process. Wishing you well on your healing journey. Hope to see you around more and keep posting.
 
Thanks @ladee , your kindness means a lot. I am seeing my counselor on Thursday. It was a mistake giving this guy a chance and he broke my trust every time. I was nothing more than just lady bits to him. I feel used and violated :( :cry:. On top of it, my so called friends' attitude isn't helpful its. It's true that when you're in shit, people run away from you and when you have something to offer, everyone chases you! This world is full of selfish people and only few genuine souls :( :cry:.
 
You will find many genuine souls here !! We all understand each other, are very supportive and offer hands up and shoulders to lean on as you travel this road... please share with your counselor all that you have shared here... if you knew a different way to deal with this guy, you would have... we only do what we know to do, until we learn another way. Try not to beat yourself up and just use this as a frame of reference for what you no longer want in your life... healing does happen.... come here as often as you want and need to... we do understand.
 
Thanks @ladee. I returned to this forum after almost 3 months. I've been stuck with this guy, study and group assignments where i was just manipulated a lot. This time I will do things differently. I will work on my anxiety issues because it is the driver of my actions and emotions.
 
That is awesome to hear !!! We have to make our self priority or nothing else in our life gets accomplished as we stay in upset and get stuck.Happy you decided to come back... you know you will get a lot of support here... so welcome, again. sending gentle hugs if you accept.
 
Thanks @ladee, yes, I will continue being here and will be working on my healing. I think that I have realised that I can't simply change things unless I change my thoughts and behaviors followed by them. I need to work on my emotions as well. So this is my goal. I will make myself as important as study.
