Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.

dont think im crazy, i was abused and attacked. it was over sex.
but ever since theres been this dark feeling, like one site said
why wont the darkness go away ? i cant get that evil feeling to stop
its like somebody did something real bad and its left it behind
its literally like some evil prescence of some kind, like if i met
a murderer over sex, and its left that in my life and home, obviously you
get physical and emotional abuse as well, but has anyone ever noticed
that feeling, like something dark and unfeeling after ?

It sounds like deep shame. I experience that sometimes, and its almost physically painful. Its so dark and deep seated. It's the worst feeling in the world. I pray yours lifts and I do agree with msaishe73 about therapy.

Lots of love sent your way

You know I felt like that too. It was like an evil presence took part of my soul. I felt that for years. Finally I joined the Catholic Church and I was Baptised, Confirmed, and had my 1st Communion and I felt new afterwards. I also sought counseling and would reccomment you do too with a couselor who specializes in rape or sexual trauma. I think that could really help you. Rape or sexual trauma even if attempted can put you in a dark part of your soul at times it is the ultimate betrayal and it takes that part of us that was always safe and exposes it and once it happens its very hard to forget it. I really think counseling at the least is a good idea! God Bless you and keep you safe!

Yes. Feeling darkness after abuse
is not uncommon.

If you haven't already, please consider
getting getting counseling or therapy.
With the right clinician, it can help
enormously. It's helped many of
us here. Certainly, it's helped me.

Healing is possible. It's out there
waiting for you.

Sending you hugs and
healing thoughts.

These suggestions are good and i hope you will act on them.
I was raped and did not get therapy, many many years ago. I experience that darkness a lot, and that feeling has become ingrained in me over time, with additional traumas ladled on, very difficult to handle my emotions now.
I wish terrible things hadn't happened to you, and to me and to all of us here. but we can't just ignore them, how ever we might wish to. Counseling offers a chance to feel better. It is helping me now, and I can't help but reflect on how much I wish I had begun decades ago.
