this sounds like disassociation - are yuo seeing a therapist? if so make sure you tel them about this - the grounding techniques at the top of the PTSD forum may help a little wiht this when you feel this way

I see shadows of figures running on my walls ,and I feel like I'm always being watched . I sometimes find myself at places when I don't remember how I got there . Even my art has been affected ,I find drawings in my room of twisted and mutilated figures that I don't remember drawing.(I usualy draw manga .)I'm not violent so I don't know why I would draw things like that.

I was wondering what Manga was ? pardon my ignorance . If you aer not seeing a therapist - maybe it would be a good idea to make an appointment wiht one - if you have recently started any meds - check wiht your dr or pdoc in case these are side effects ok

I was raped by another guy more than twice my age when I was eight years old and I can still feel his hands touching me sometimes when I have panic attacks or flash backs. Somebody please help me , l'm not sure I can live like this much longer , l already attempted suicide once and I'm tempted to try again.
I have body memories too - they are not pleasant and i am sorry you are going through this - have you had any therapy for this ? or spoken to a rape crisis centre? please reahc out to someone around yuo and get some help - suicide is never the answer - it only damages more people in the process and i know you would not want that.

Please take care of you and let us know how you are and if you have contacted a T or your T - stay safe
