I generally get nightmares of being raped or chased either by a man or by animals. I have a dysfunctional family set up. Sometimes things just appear so confusing like I seriously do not know what I want to do in life. I just do not feel right even if everything just seems perfect yet I feel empty as if something is missing.

It takes a lot of open acceptance to say that you come from a dysfunctional family. Rape is your vulnerability and your family has definitely affected this fear in you. All children need stability at home and they respond well to nurturing and love by growing up in an integrated manner. You will need to meet with a counselor and get all the care and nurturing you missed and regrow yourself. Being aware of this is the first step in your recovery. Then attend a personality development course and whatever you need to enhance your skills and talents will help you accept and love yourself to the hilt. You are the net result of what was done to you but today, you are responsible for yourself to mold and shape your future. And it can be anything you choose to become. That is in your hands now. Go and just do it.

Take the support of your friends who care for you. You can also share your feelings and concerns to people who are close to you. If possible please do visit a psychologist who can help you overcome your fears. Counseling plays a big role in the management of psychological troubles (emotional /fears and anxiety ). You can start helping yourself by becoming active physically like doing yoga and pranayam which helps relax the mind and body. You can also do walking / jogging/ play any sport. Develop some hobby which can make you happy and boost your self esteem. Cultivating a positive attitude will help you sail through all your troubles very smoothly.
