I don't know. I just know that when I saw the rape scene in the movie "North Country," it affected me instantaneously. I wept on ktspktsp for a very long time, not knowing why the trigger had been so severe. It was not the same situation as mine, but it triggered the feeling I had when I sobered up that morning and realized what had happened... that I had lost something so extremely valuable to me, at the time. It went far beyond feeling "regret" the next day. It was a strong sense of violation, as well as shame for my being so stupid as to get into that situation.

What you describe here is textbook PTSD. It would probably be helpful to talk to a professional about this.
