well your not in depression, no. but your still recovering from the shock of being threatened and raped. If I were you I would relax a bit, they rarely come after you unless you get in their way, and when you do, you want to be prepared. Maybe you should take karate classes and carry pepper spray with you, in secret of course..
You've experienced a severely traumatic
event. No -one can tell you what you have,
except a psychologist or psychiatrist.
You need to see yr Dr ( or dr @ a clinic for referral
Ask if there's a psychologist attached to a hospita
or clinic if cost is problem)
Think you have PTSD -post traumatic
stress disorder or similar.
You need to be diagnosed + treated ASAP.
We're you threatened by being bullied? Is it okay to ask the context of such a threat? To me it sounds you are depressed. But do not HAVE depression. It's two different things, everyone gets depressed from time to time. But to have depression is different. If you start to feel hopeless, unbearbably sad, thinking of death or that there's no way out, tell someone you trust. For now, try to stay positive and surround yourself with things you like. I think you'll be just fine :)
