My life is a mess riht now. So about a month ago i broke up with my boyfriend that I was with for a year and a half. I finally realized how mean he was. He never put much interest into me and he never wanted to help me. For example, I felt it was neccessary to tell him about the time I was raped as a child because I was having a lot of nightmares about it and I was shutting down from it. But, when I told him he got mad at me. He said why would I think that he was equipted to deal with this and that that was too big for him to handle and I have to go to someone else to talk to, then hung up on me. So anyways I broke up with him and shortly after I slept with my best friend, ya I know crazy. But he’s always been there for me and when i do have panic attacks he actually tries to help unlike my ex. He actually wants to learn how to hanlde my anxiety and he wants to know baout my past so he can help me through it. But I can feel myself spiraling down. I can feel my depression coming on and I’ve been having a lot of nightmares lately about what happened when I was little. Sometimes I just need someone to sit with me but the only person I want is my best friend who lives an hour away.

Well, your best friend is going to have to become your boyfriend now, or else the two of you will quit talking, because you can’t just have sex with your friends and expect everything to remain as how it was before.
You have to be careful telling any boyfriend or guy you’re interested in about being raped as a child. Guys can’t handle that type of thing. Also, there are certain guys who will use that information against you to make you feel insecure, lower than them or like they can treat you any kind of way. They will take advantage of you because of that.
You need to see a therapist. Be wary of your “best friend” too. You’ve slept with him and now he’s collecting all this information about you and your past. People can turn on you. As I’ve said above, using what you say against you.
A therapist is the safest way to get this off of your chest.
Do you have any feeling for your best friend?
If so, maybe it’s destiny and your way to better life.
If not, it’s can be destructive and you dhould be very careful with how you procceed with this.
