How can I get over trauma from a past relationship?

Anonymous
This was just under a year ago when it happened. I know trauma is a strong word, but it’s the only one I could think of. So, this guy in my grade was obsessed with me. There’s no other way to put it. He stared at me like a creep all the time, and for ages i though we were friends, then it hit me. He liked me. I was very innocent at the time, fresh out of primary school. Eventually, he confessed his feelings. We kissed on the way home from school. I should have known then he didn’t have my best interests at heart. The shock from the kiss nearly made me faint, and he just turned a blind eye to it! This happened once more, and since then I have nearly talked to him. To this day, I still occasionally freak out if a guy looks at me or flirts. I’m skittish and paranoid around boys my age, but not in a normal way. I was depressed and anxious for months because of this. I am getting a lot better, but i was wondering if there’s any way I could get over this faster? Also is it okay to be feeling this way? Thanks for reading all that.
