I guess mine could be labeled as a financial trauma. I was scammed financially, and I was stupid enough to send my hard-earned money away to a complete stranger.. was close to 30k.. I'm still suffering and totally traumatized because the person who scammed me was actually introduced by someone I knew.. come to think of it, maybe even that person's social media account had already been hacked.. but at the same time, I'm unsure of that.. because when I first spoke with this person, they knew everything about me already, as if that friend had told the person what I liked..
It's been a year and a half since I reported to local Police, and my bank account is still suffering. I think I'm more traumatized by being used, and for some reason, I trusted the person that I was speaking with. So, I'm traumatized by myself trusting the wrong people, and making me look stupid to do something like this. I was totally terrified of what was happening, I spoke with a colleague about it, and she was the one who talked me into reporting it to the Police. I knew someone from school before who has friends in the Police force, I asked them for advice. And that person gave me the phone number for me to report to Police for non-emergencies. I was afraid to tell my family about it, I didn't have enough money to pay for my own bills, I actually went to ask my cousin to borrow me a few hundred dollars. It wasn't until a couple weeks later, that I told my family about it.
I'm still struggling to pay for my own groceries and I don't have enough money to make my monthly contributions towards my family (living with parents still). I feel angry at myself for doing something like this, and I think I am still quite traumatized by the entire financial scam. (Except I can't really talk about it anymore, with family, of how much it is still impacting my life).
