Mantal health emotional trauma
I am seeking psychological help because I have experienced persistent overthinking, intrusive memories, anxiety, and emotional distress for the past 10 years. While I was asleep, my brother secretly accessed my phone, read my private chats, and viewed my personal photos without my consent. During that time, I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, and a married friend (my friend's brother) supported me in leaving it. I had shared one non-explicit photo with him, but my brother assumed we had an inappropriate relationship. Without asking me for an explanation, he told family members and relatives that I had a relationship with a married man and questioned my character. Recently, he repeated these allegations to his fiancée, showed my personal photo to others without my permission, verbally abused me, and continued making defamatory statements. Since then, I frequently relive these events, feel betrayed, anxious, and emotionally overwhelmed. what should i do.

What you went through â privacy violation, emotional abuse, and character defamation â is genuinely traumatic, and it makes complete sense that you're still affected 10 years later. This sounds like PTSD or complex trauma and needs proper therapy, not just time.
Next Steps
See a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist for trauma-focused therapy like CBT or EMDR. This is treatable with the right support. Consult me on Practo and I can guide you to the right help.

Hi, thank you for reaching out and sharing this. I am really sorry you have been carrying this pain for so many years. Having your privacy violated, being misunderstood and having your character questioned without being heard can leave a very deep emotional impact. Your anxiety and repeatedly reliving these incidents may be your mind still trying to process the betrayal and hurt.
Please know that I am willing to help you work through these intrusive memories, overthinking and emotional distress in a safe, non-judgmental space. We can gradually work on processing the trauma, reducing the mental replay and helping you regain emotional control.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
