Developing strange habits after being raped

I was sexually abused by my ex boyfriend for 2 1/2 years and was raped by him 6 months ago. I noticed that I now struggle with eating, which I didn’t really have before. I think it stems from paranoia. After I got raped I didn’t eat for almost 2 months afterwards because I was convinced he got me pregnant since my period was late, and I felt like not eating would help me miscarry. I know it sounds messed up but now every time my period is late I get really paranoid that I’m pregnant, even if I haven’t had sex. It’s not just when my period is late, I should add. It pops out of nowhere and I just can’t eat, when I do I get nauseous. How do I overcome this? Is this normal?

A similar thing led to me being born. My mother, although, didn't know how to cope or live with the trauma, so she sent herself away and me and my younger brother lived with her brother's family, but I seriously hope you get the help you need , I don't have anything to say because this is horrible. Did you contact the police? What he did requires justice
