I recently opened up to someone about my past sexual abuse, something I have never really shared openly before. It was extremely difficult for me to talk about, and I trusted this person enough to be vulnerable about it. I trusted her enough to open up, but her response felt very limited or i can say ZERO and emotionally distant. Since then, things haven’t felt right to me. Right now, I’m dealing with anxiety, panic, and a lot of overthinking because of this situation along with my past trauma. It’s getting hard to process everything clearly and I feel mentally exhausted. I’m not looking for validation, I just want a real and neutral perspective.

Is it normal to feel this way after opening up and not getting the kind of response you expected? How do you deal with this kind of emotional confusion?
