Depends on the person and the day. Some days you feel so so much, other days you’re used to it and just feel emotionally numb. Some find every way to make what happened to them their fault. ”Maybe if I didn’t do this it wouldn’t have happened”. The shame that you can’t just move on from it that you can’t forget it happened. Shame when you have to explain why you had a full blown panic attack when someone touched you. Anger-Mostly at yourself, slightly at whoever did what they did to you. The anger is more of a self hatred it’s hard to explain.
My older brother was diagnosed with PTSD some years ago. He is a US military vet whose service on the front lines in the Viet Nam conflict brought to fruition dissociative patterns already established in his abusive childhood. He tells me that whenever it rains at his home in Florida, the sound of the rain in the treetops snaps him back to that jungle hell.
