from my experience rape doesn't directly cause things like OCD or eating disorders, but anything traumatic like that can bring out a predisposition. for me i have borderline personality disorder, and from what my doctor tells me, my borderline wouldn't have come out without the rape. and when it comes to things like eating disorders that often comes because the rape makes a lot of people lose their self-esteem and tend to hate their bodies because of what was done to them. and the depression is almost a guarantee. but, being raped can cause lots of problems. i was paranoid and had panic attacks which had never happened before it happened.

I am sorry as it sounds like you are really struggling.

Remember that your assault did not happen in a vacuum, it is not contained. As in every experience, you bring to it the good, the bad and the ugly.

I have been dealing with depression since I hit puberty - more than 20 years ago. However, it was only after I was raped 11 years ago that we were able to put a name to it.

If you are in counseling, this is something you should talk about with your counselor. If you have not yet sought counseling, your body might be telling you it is time. People are like soda pop bottles - they can only take so much shaking up before they need to let some of the pressure off.
