While it is hard to determine for sure, it sure sounds like an avoidance DM to me, at least on the surface. It can also be a form of repression with your mind locking away all your emotions because dealing with the painful emotions involved with your rape. I have dealt with similar emotional problems caused by physical and emotional violations from my past so I can totally understand what you are going through. I finally went to a T for help, which was the best thing I ever did. She helped me to confront those long suppressed emotions in a safe environment and helped me to learn how to accept and deal with them. Get help, the inner suffering only gets worse. Know that you are not alone, you are loved.
