I keep having anxiety attacks at night...

Ok, this is the first time I'm using an alt account because I think my friends might see it.

When I was in 7th grade, I got assaulted by a girl that was 2-3 years older than me. She tried to pull me into the girl's bathroom even though I said no, but I somehow managed to escape her grasps. Back then I couldn't really know what to think about it because I didn't know us guys can be assaulted by girls, so I stayed quiet about it.

Here I am now, 15 and about to turn 16 this year and I still can't stop thinking about that situation. Every night I kept worrying about the other guys all over the world because they probably didn't know what to do about it like I did, and it keeps giving me anxiety. "Do people even care about us?" I think to myself every night as I try to sleep. I tried working out and exercising to vent out my anxiety but my anxiety still won't disappear.

Please help me, I just want to sleep normally...
